As far as "false comparisons" are concerned, I think your argument is with Boilerman. He is the one who chose those examples to highlight.
And if there were any half-truths in what I wrote, you should either step up and identify them or scurry away.
The fact of the matter is each of your examples of 'bad Republicans' has a true counterpoint with a bad Democrat. But that wasn't your agenda....to really look at bad Republicans and bad Democrats. It was simply to cherry pick things Boiler has said about 'some' Democrats and then pivot to your Republican smear....that you assert is oh so much more serious.
It's a common propaganda technique and logical fallacy....called a false equivalence. That’s not on Boiler. That’s on you. So how did you select Boiler's examples? Are they the only 'bad Democrats' he's identified? Are they the only examples of Bad Democrats discussed here? Of course not. It's just an easy but dishonest way for you to throw in your own scary Republican examples...and then declare victory.
Let's look at some of these half-truths and then see if we can identify a similar 'bad Democrat'….starting with your very first assertion:
1. The leading Republican candidate for governor in Michigan who turned in nominating petitions that had thousands of fraudulent signatures.
This is half-truth #1. The propagandist is leading you to believe that the Republican candidate (Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig) committed fraud. He's a bad Republican! This is a smear. The truth is that 5 Republican Candidates for Governor all had a serious issue with fraudulent signatures. That's because they were all swindled by the same signature collection gathering company that faked these signatures. Use of 3rd party signature collection is very common in elections….them committing fraud and getting the candidates disqualified is not common.
If you imply that a Republican candidate committed fraud and is a ‘Bad’ person then wouldn’t it be most important to know if the candidate purposely submitted invalid signatures?
STATE OF MICHIGAN BUREAU OF ELECTIONS LANSING
“At this point, the Bureau does not have reason to believe that any specific candidates or campaigns were aware of the activities of fraudulent-petition circulators.”
These candidates and the voters of Michigan are victims of fraud not criminals committing fraud....yet MP attacks the victims to dishonestly further his political agenda.
Now....if we want to look at Democrats and REAL election fraud....Look no further than Ozzy Myers.
PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced today that former U.S. Congressman Michael “Ozzie” Myers, 79, of Philadelphia, PA, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election for orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pennsylvania elections. Now HE was a BAD Democrat and a Bad Person. The Republican former Chief of Police of Detroit...not so much. .
TO BE CONTINUED....Next up....Insurectionist Arrested!
