(54,171 posts)You nailed it is so few words. The inevitable argument which it bears is "I am so sick of "both sides do it" excuse." Well, when "boot sides" do it, then it IS a problem and it should be discussed. As far as I am concerned, I more or less EXPECT it from the right, but when it comes from MY side of the fence, it is doubly offensive, made worse when someone, usually a "privileged" person (or a pet), tells me "we have more important things to worry about", "lighten up", "you can't take a joke?", or "my (X) friend says it is OK (or the person claims to be a "X" ". I have said before, when it comes to the right, they are more honest because they call me a "fag" or "kike" to my face, my alleged political friends, some even claiming to be "allies", wait until I leave the room.
