Not-Quite-As-Bad is the same as equating one of our Republican candidates with a cold-blooded murderer. It is a sick thing to say, and evil as well.
Saying that Rudy is "Not-Quite-As-Bad" as Scott Peterson does not "equate" Rudy with Scott Peterson. "Not-Quite-As-Bad" means "NOT-Quite-As-Bad."
Please quit mischaracterizing what I say.
Besides, you know yourself that if I'm not exactly right, I'm Very-Close-To-Right.
