You didn't clap or applaud during the SOTU? Traitor!

[Chucho]

The irony in those pictures.

Old lady who cant probably have kids anymore is for planned parenthood but the young chick who can, doesn't like it. Our future is ed.

Why? It's because the youngster hasn't been jaded by the world yet. Give her a decade of life experience and maybe she'll want to murder someone too.

lol whataboutism.

lol not understanding whataboutism.

There's a difference between spending time with them and representing their opposing stances. Surely you know this wouldn't go over well in a courtroom.

no it tells me he's not all or nothing when it comes to the abortion issue, and can find a middle ground to the point where neither side see's him as an adversary.

I think the most likely explanation is he probably takes pictures when asked and doesn't spend a lot of time looking at whatever sign the person is holding.

I actually didn’t but nobody is shocked that you’re this stupid. It’s not hard to google whataboutism, you did it for the first time a few weeks ago when John Oliver taught you the word.

Clearly you felt the same way when Republicans did it to Obama.

'Whataboutism' is a rhetorical device that involves accusing others of offenses as a way of deflecting attention from one's own deeds. The tactic was developed by the Soviet Union, but is seeing more attention as it is frequently used by the Trump administration.

No, I pretty much nailed it. Hey, it's easy to do and , I'll fall in that trap from time to time too.

Thanks for playing.

There's no middle ground between "I support planned parent hood" and "we don't need planned parent hood" when you grab photo ops with both camps. It's like saying Ron Paul found middle ground by introducing a bill he planned to vote against.

yes because appearing at an event is wholesale agreement with every single poster slogan there

Taking a photo in front of a statement sign has historically signaled agreement with said statement.

"Manchin previously identified as pro-life, and he even voted to defund Planned Parenthood in 2015. But as Frank Cannon wrote for The National Pulse on Monday, Democratic Party leadership is now demanding complete uniformity on the abortion issue. Manchin, who is up for re-election in 2018, was likely told to fall in line or else."

He's holding the sign, for 's sake Philo. ,

I could give a about non-clapping. They can fling at the President during SOTU for all I care. I wasn’t deflecting for my “side” because my side is “I don’t give a what either side does”. I was pointing out Darrins obvious bias. Not every case of pointing out hypocrisy is whataboutism. Read your own definition, champ.

The bias you see as obvious, is yours. His statement was fairly neutral.
Try again.

Trump just literally said this today. Chrissy

DarrinS - “Fairly neutral”

Game over. Thanks for playing. Maybe next time John Oliver throws out a fun new word you’ll use it correctly.

I’m just going to say blatantly hypocritical statements and then scream “WHATABOUTISM!” when ai get called out for it.

the NFL’s catch rule is bull , it screwed the Patriots in the Super Bowl!

John Oliver

Did you know or use the term “whataboutism” before 2017 when John Oliver made it popular? Before you answer, read these bible verses!

“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.”
-Proverbs 12:22

“A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.”
-Proverbs 19:9

“Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices”
-Colossians 3:9

“But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.”
-James 5:12
