The Same Old Lefty Equivalence
04/10/2003

As an example of the overdone equivalence on the left, consider this collection of quotations from online readers of the Sydney Morning Herald in response to the coalition victory (via Tim Blair). Here's my favorite:

"All hail the coming of McDonalds' Golden Arches to Baghdad to replace Saddam's Golden Palaces. I'm not sure which is the more obscene. I'm ashamed that I belong to the same nation as that craven coward, Howard."

It just about perfectly sums up that whole way of looking at the world, doesn't it? Let me see... Playland versus Kiddyjail? Happy Meal versus feeding the corpses of children in concentration camps to dogs?

Imbecile.
