Seventh is excusing bullstuff because others have already done it.

Literally not an brown townogous situation at all. I remember a time when you actually posted stuff I had respect for.
When there's evident hypocrisy between how people respond to two equal problems, that's entirely worth pointing out.

A straw-man of her detractors? Are you telling me that every single person who has called out Kathy Griffin's image had the exact same response to Obama effigies and lynch scenes? Because that's provably bullstuff. Ted Nugent called for Obama to be killed, and yet that didn't stop Annoying Orange from inviting him to the White House. Widespread outrage from both sides? Absolutely none.
This obviously isn't a GOP-specific issue. There are liberals who condone the image, just like there were conservatives who condoned lynching Obama dolls. If you want me to be fair, I think that this Kathy Griffin debacle represents more of the selective outrage of polarized politics more than anything else. I didn't accuse anyone on these forums of being hypocrites, but there are clear partisan divides on how we address threats of violence that can't be chalked up to me making straw-man arguments.
