Oh, I get it. This is one of those "leftists have lied, therefore none may criticize Republicans" arguements? Or "a leftist once outed some spies, so no Democrat may complain of a Republican doing so"?
Pretty weak, as get-out-of-jail-free cards go. Especially since the "character counts" part of my post was a quote from a certain local independent, from the Clinton hysteria period.
