[Mpls] Rybak retort to Minneapolis Police Federation

[Greg Abbott]

Has RT complained about the decline in County Sheriff staff?  If he  
has, I haven't seen it.

And what, if any, responsibility for law enforcement within the  
boundaries of Minneapolis does the County Sheriff have?

Criticizing someone for failing to condemn someone's else's behavior  
is a form of "guilt by association" frequently used by right-wing  
blogs to imply, for example, that all liberals secretly support  
Saddam Hussein (while else would they have failed to condemn Saddam's  
human rights violation).

It is a very poor form of argument designed to change the subject.

But, hey, if it's good enough for Powerline and Instapundit, it's  
good enough for RT.
