Reply #23: What, were you salivating, waiting to drop that False Equivalency shit on someone? [View All]

I didn't say both sides are 'just as bad as the other', I said they both INSINUATE HALF-TRUTHS which combine to give a 'who gives a shit' feeling to the people observing the debate.

And you can define 'both sides' as Democrats and Republicans, as 'liberal' and 'conservative' are much more far-reaching in scale and scope, although the 'typical' liberal and conservative are rather 'well-defined' as a particular subset of that array for terms of general discussion not related to exacting measurement and empirical evidence.

Furthermore, unless you have an objective statement defining, exactly and with metrics predetermined and accepted as definitives by the entirety of the populace, the term 'far more damage', you'll have trouble proving that line. Now, I happen to agree with you that as a whole they do what I believe to be much more damage, but that doesn't address either objectivity or defining metrics.

See, I can take a concept and lose it in semantics also, but that wasn't particularly the mood I was in today.
