Bill Maher Last Night: The Danger of False Equivalency

[Terrell]

Yes I did. You then asked how they were "exactly the same". I don't think they are exactly the same.

I thought it might have been clear when I wrote...

As far as foreign policy goes they are the same. They both hold strongly to the right to invade and bomb countries which pose no threat. They both pander to Israel. They both seem to want to increase tensions with Russia and China. They both support "regime change" around the world.

...what I meant.
I don't see the point of taking up your challenge that they be "exactly the same" on every point

In other words pointing out specific differences, ya know facts, that rebut your assertion that they're the same are meaningless to you.

I pointed out a specific policy where the Dems aren't pandering to Israel, care to bother addressing it?

They look different during election, once they get elected they are the same.
Banksters and other interested parties are paying to both parties equally for a reason. Bill Maher is right about one thing, americans (and people in general) are not interested in politics.

Is this the only issue where you see them as the same, or are there differences elsewhere between the parties? Are they going to hold the same polices on social issues? Economic issues? Obamacare? Foreign policy? If they're both the same, wouldn't they agree on all those things?

I treat these "differences" as minor and mostly theater for voters. They like to disagree on these meaningless issues publicly.

You mentioned Foreign policy, it's a best illustration to my point. Foreign policy never change, in fact even people who are responsible for it stay the same regardless of the administration. Yes, Obama is a lesser hawk than previous president, but that only means he is less likely to send troops to some meaningless war, but he is no less prone to regime changes and other crap, you know why? because he is relying on the same advisers Bush did.

I really doubt most people would see things that way...but if you want to go on about it , be my guest. One swallow does not a summer make.
You've misquoted me and misrepresented me. I don't know why you want to do that but...m'eh.

Big deal. What is to address. One time where they had some spine doesn't mean they don't pander a lot too. Though for some reason I can't get you to see that. M'eh

Yet you don't offer any specifics to how they are pandering as you claim.

No. I did. You ignored it. I'm going to put you on ignore...all the best. I have better things to do..

Have at it, but so far you haven't given any specific thing that the U.S. is doing to pander to Israel. You made the assertion, it should be on you to point out how.
