False equivalency, let this articles show you them
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/10/1106157/-Paul-Begala-goes-OFF-It-s-one-thing-to-be-anti-government-It-s-another-to-be-pro-stupid
There is a long history of Party Platforms. If the Republicans aren't serious about their claims, well, then nothing to worry about, right? Except of course, they are in government, and part of government is very serious, correct? Especially with millions unemployed, many more millions not really being paid enough, and kids going hungry every night, yes, government is serious.
And false equivalency is like well, in a very light mode, telling a kid she won't notice that her raspberry sorbet is not just like that raspberry ice cream with chocolate fudge swirls she really actually wants! Tell your friend that one action adventure story is like another, and he might compare Speed 2 with Terminator 2. They just aren't the same-- one has character arcs and pacing and plotting, the other has a big ship.
Good article.
