When moral equivalence fails

from JoeUser Forums

Controversial celebrity photographer Jill Greenberg, a self-professed "hard-core Dem," deliberately took a series of unflattering shots of Republican nomineeJohn McCain for the current cover of The Atlantic - and then bragged about it on a blog.

Read the whole thing here:

It grows tiresome in every political season when inevitably someone says that "both sides" do reprehensible things. Yet, there is no right-wing equivalent of the Daily Kos or Democratic Underground. And you don't see "right wingers" of  a remotely mainstream level pulling this kind of thing.

Maybe some of those NYTimes reporters currently digging through back alleys in Alaska might want to come back down and perform some..journalism?

Can you tell me the last time a Democratic candidate had his face photoshopped into something degrading and spread around the net or by professionals?

But the answer to the question posed by Draginol is now.

No, not unless you can show the professionals.  As we see in this age of the internet, anyone can photoshop anything, and we have a couple of good ones right here on this site.  But they are not professionals.  There is a BIG difference.

Ever gotten a Nigerian email?  Ever gotten one from Merril Lynch?

Note that the "or"  is most likely not supposed to be there. (nor and for the matter)

This just shows your grasping at straws mate and arguing sematics.

sorry for answering the question as it was posed.  I should have know that he didn't write what he meant.

Greenberg’s dislike for the GOP is not new. In 2004, she held an art exhibit in Los Angeles in which she displayed pictures of toddlers crying with the caption “Four More Years.” Greenberg admitted she intentionally made the toddlers cry so she could create a visual slam against President Bush."

And she says republicans are evil... so evil, that she will intentionally make a toddler cry to depict them in a bad light, and admit it. I have never, ever, heard a person admit to abusing a toddler to make a political statement on how someone ELSE is evil.

Thats like saying when JFK said Ich bin ein Berliner, people should have just said,"huh, your a jelly donut?" and not realized he ment, Ich bin Berliner. (yes it was commented on after, but people understood what he was trying to say.)

But you did not.  The or, perhaps bad grammar, was clearly a qualifier on the statement.  So you are withdrawing your comment?

It's slang!  He's an American - He's a donut!
