People: please don't abet the "whataboutism" in this thread. It will go away if not fed.
This isn't just about 'whataboutism' this is more about Republicans (maybe not so much here) trying to force Democrats to cower. I refer you back to the 2004 Democratic Nomination Convention when for some reason John Kerry and the others in the Democratic leadership promised to not say anything negative about George W Bush.
Yeah, there's the thread where people pretend they are outraged by Cohen's comment (although I agree, he shouldn't have said it), and then there's the whataboutist effort to make this about Juanita Broaddrick.
