This is funny coming from a media that was lied to by president Obama and his "if you like your insurance you can keep it" lie.
It's called "false equivalency". When Cicero is dead wrong on any issue, he either returns with a "straw man" or as in this case, a "false equivalency".
What this shows you is that Cicero has given up defending the indefensible Rand Paul Lies, and instead makes an attack to draw attention from the actual truth.
When you see the 'straw man' or Cissy's 'false equivalency' you know that you've won the discussion.

Yea... why keep Americans from asbestos, or Dioxin, or Mirex... why even tell the public that they are ingesting or breathing dangerous substances. Just let em die.
So I should trust the ones who dumped agent orange over your buddies heads, good idea

Maybe a straw man, but certainly not a false equivalency. I never defended Paul by equivocating his lying with Obama's lying. I mocked the media's fact checking on Paul after they were lied to for 5 years by Obama.

Is that what happened Henry? Like asbestos or DDT or a hundred other chemicals that were used until they were found to be a hazard, then banned. I remember when the Mohawk River was full of chemicals, but (thanks to mostly Liberal forces) it's now relatively clean. It was the Conservative voices who, just like today, deny the science and resisted any change, no matter how hazardous, in the name of the almighty $$$.
Check out Admiral Zumwalt's decisions to use Agent Orange, and the impact that decision had on his son.

Yes that is what happened and to this very day the effects of agent orange is very well alive in Vietnam, Google it and look at the pics if you want to see what your actions has caused. Your war is still claiming lives over there not that I think you care.

Now if I were a Right Wing conservative my response would be DENIAL! "There's no such thing as AO, it's a figment of liberals imagination. Scientists disprove the effects of AO! Most scientists say AO is safe!"
But since I'm not a deranged Right Wing Conservative, I agree that AO is a dangerous compound and like many herbicides used in the USA, should be banned.
Like asbestos Mirex and DDT, at one time AO was considered safe and was used in the USA and Vietnam, but today is banned.
Agent Orange and Agent Blue were extensively used in Vietnam AND IN THE UNITED STATES and in England. Although the 2,4,5-T molecule (AO) itself was non-toxic, the small quantities of DIOXIN impurities caused the chemical to be very toxic.
NOTE: If you lived by a power line or railroad tracks in the late 50's through early 70's you too were probably exposed to AO.

It doesn't take a scientist to know that something that does this to a forest isn't going to be good for the people. In fact AO was intentionally used over food supplies and water sources in Vietnam.

YUP! And AO and similar herbicides were used in the USA around power lines, rail road tracks, schools, bridges, roadside parking areas... anywhere to control brush. That's what a herbicide does.
Take a look along high tension power lines in your area today. The reason that most vegetation is stunted or dead is use of a herbicide.

Paraquat, one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, was sprayed on marijuana plants in many countries to control the drug. Many growers would harvest their plants as soon as they were sprayed, and ship to the USA for sale.
Many a pot smoking burnout (A4Life?) got that way by smoking Paraquat laced weed!

Rand Paul's African American Outreach... or If you're Black, don't sit at the Lunch Counter!
Quoted Text
Rand Paul, who has publicly told America that he does not support the part of the Civil Rights Act that forbids businesses from doing things like preventing African Americans from entering their premises, will be in Detroit on December 6th to open the Republican African American Engagement Office.
Detroit is 83% African American. I don’t know this for a fact but I suspect that being kicked out of lunch counters because of your color is just the words that African Americans need to hear that will switch them to Looneytarianism. You know, because of freedom. So if you’re not doing anything else on December 6th, head to Detroit and try to catch the show.

Rand Paul opened his Minority Outreach Program in Detroit today...
All this mostly white crowd lacked, was minorities! :
Quoted Text
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), who defended his white supremacist staffer who also helped him write his “book”, went to Detroit today with a plan. His plan, per the Blaze, is to break one of “America’s firmest Democratic strongholds”. He’s gonna do it with minority outreach based on selling his Libertarian message that tax cuts will solve everything.
The Senator tweeted a photo of today’s minority outreach speech, accompanying the opening of the GOP office in Detroit. Cluelessly he tweeted, “A Great crowd showed up today to support the opening of the new Michigan GOP office in #Detroit. @MIGOP”.
A great mostly white crowd. Yes. And not to great. Kinda small. (See above.) Even the Detroit News couldn’t scrounge up a supportive quote from anyone, but a couple from Livonia, which is not in any way part of urban Detroit. And they are already Republicans.
