    It Depends On Who Does It

    That's probably the sickest part of this:

    Well, I'm not sure it is either. I'm not sure it is either. It depends on how it's done. It depends on the circumstances. It depends on who does it.

    For all the talk about liberal relativism, the right wing nutjobs are the true relativists. "It's OK if we do it, but when they do it we have a problem."

    It's OK if we waterboard people, but if Iran does it watch out!

    It's OK if we meddle in Iraq when we were neither threatened nor invited, but watch out if Syria does it!

    It's OK if we imprison people without trial or legal advice, but watch out if Myanmar does it!

    These guys have no sense of what's right and what's wrong besides their own Daddyism.
