Digby the Crazy Cat Lady has horked up a big hairball of both-sides-do-it over at the David Atkins blog (remember him? the big cheese in his county political machine?)<br /><br />Digby is shrieking like a cat on fire over... something... utterly hypocritical... which after much wading through the verbiage turns out to be the absolute utter and stunning hypocrisy of a program to suggest to foreign governments that maybe torturing and assassinating reporters might not be a good thing while at the same time questioning James Risen about the leak of details about an ongoing covert operation aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring an atom bomb.<br /><br />Exactly the same thing, as summed up in the money quote:<br /><br />"It's also in line with decades of manipulative maneuvering in which the government (of both parties) gets caught doing something illegal and instead of stopping the illegal behavior, instead enlists congressional authoritarians in both parties to legalize it."<br /><br />What is it with these people and the word "authoritarian?" Like "neoliberal" it appears to be fresh and new and trendy and the paraphrasable semantic equivalent of "poopyhead!"<br /><br />In any case I thought you would enjoy another example of Obama is Worser than Bush Even and Both Sides Do It so Voting is Pointless because Snowden is the Hero who Inspired this Discussion.

Racism under the banner of "states' rights" is still racism. Just ask Sean Hannity.
