Virginia Foxx is batshit crazy. Michelle Bachmann is batshit crazy. Alan Grayson is not.

Teevee yakkers love to show their independence by drawing moral equivalencies between truly batshit crazy people and intelligent, serious opposition.

I think this makes the teevee yakkers look stupid, ill-informed, lazy, and bereft of the ability to sort fact from fiction.

1. Agree. Too many conservative friends just wave their hands and say "they're all nuts"...

or "they all lie" referrring to MSNBC vs Fox, right vs left, Olbermann vs Beck, all politicians, etc.

There is a difference...a big difference.

2. Grayson is guilty only of occasional hyperbole

But the points he makes are basically valid.

Foxx, Bachmann and their ilk tell outright outrageous LIES. Easily disprovable, "solved by googling in 10 seconds" lies.

BIG difference.

4. I find the hyperbole to be intelligent hyperbole

I agree with you.

3. "They're all the same."

I hate that non-argument from the apologiensa.

5. But didn't Virginia's son Anthony just win the Charlotte mayoral race?

Somebody ask her that and watch her head explode.

6. But but but both sides do it!
