Whataboutery. Exactly the kind of fallacy that impresses idiots.

I've specified some good things he's done. You respond with dull-witted whataboutery, and can't be bothered to even argue whether or not what he has done is good or not. Thanks. Now I know how much attention to pay to your contributions.

With all due respect, that's whataboutery. Ham-ass is violating the laws of war. That in no way justifies Israel violating the laws of war.

So. . . the "dork" is right? That's pretty much what you're saying before you launch the whataboutery. Sounds kinda like. . . Joe Biden. And you sound like the liberals who cursed Richard Cheney and G.W. Bush for being "draft dodgers" whilst cheering Bill Clinton. Meh, not even sure why I'm...

Whataboutery. How very original.

...of the vote to make sure their Orange Jesus became the "duly elected" president-for-life. What's a little treason for funsies? Nice whataboutery, though. You could set it to The William Tell Overture. . . Wutabout wutabout wutabout-bout-bout Wutabout wutabout wutabout-bout-bout Wutabout...

Of course they do. We just try to keep the whataboutery to a minimum, recognizing it as a cheap and fairly stupid diversionary tactic.

I'm going to engage in some whataboutery here. Wutabout convicted felon Trump? Anybody heard his away-with-the-fairies ramble about electrocution and sharks? This is the kind of lucid clarity you want fingering the nuclear button?

Is whataboutery a logical fallacy in Islam?

...Had he manned up and signed up, he never woulda been called. And yes, before one of the Bright Sparks of Westernesse cranks up his whataboutery machine, Bill Clinton did the same, though in point of fact he voluntarily surrenderd his student deferment and took a number. He drew 311 and was...

...the Jewish Space Lasers to attack Hamas. Or maybe they're only tasked to start wildfires in California. Tlaib had it coming though. Whataboutery is a feeble reed here. Not all murderers are caught. That doesn't mean the ones who are shouldn't be punished. And I'm really tired of hearing...

Sorry, had a massive pizza order to deliver. Baltimore was celebrating the Ravens' epic ass-kicking of the Detroit Lions. Whataboutery has certain legitimate uses, like pointing out that Islam is certainly not alone in advocating jihad against other beliefs. Particularly given the tenor of so...

Try whataboutery next. Whatever it takes to get your own personal Jesus off.

W Whataboutery. It's a little bit of red herring and a little bit of false equivalence. With a smooth ad hominem topping, it's a symphony in fallacy!

Not at all. I'm guilty of bothsidesism, not whataboutery. Because both sides actually do it. The funny part is you honestly believe the right is a tower of truth and justice, with nary a scrap of lying, hypocrisy, or dishonesty in it.

We probably need a thread "White Lives Matter: The Ugliness of Whataboutery."

Wutabout Hillary is classic whataboutery. But do compare the wrongdoings. Let's see how they're "the same or very similar." You can start by demonstrating that Hillary ignored repeated requests to turn over the documents after she was no longer Secretary of State.

No point, Serryah. Just another whataboutery. Anything to divert attention from the issue, which is that Trump removed classified documents from a secure facility and refused to return them despite repeated requests. They tried to do this the easy way, he chose the hard way.

...I have demonstrated that slavery was uniquely evil. Responding to statements about the morality or legality of slavery of Blacks in America is either simply wrong or cheap whataboutery. If you insist that you are not wrong, I have nothing further to say. And I'm bored stiff by whataboutery.

What, fail? Yep, that's normally what you do. But this one's a small step up from your whataboutery and "We can't have laws that people will break!"
