"Dirty Tricks" and "Both Sides Do It"

Hey Gang:

So with all of the recent anonymous smear campaigns- unsubstantiated,
"howler" type accusations- you know, the ones from anonymous posters with
all of the ~~~ symbols etc. . . .

.. . . does anyone want to take up a rational, fact based discussion of the
premise that "both sides do it" (use "Dirty Tricks;" e.g., lie, smear, use
proxies, mistrepresent, cheat on election/campaign laws, etc.)?

There are objective, "scientific" methods to determine to what extent each
political party uses so-called "dirty tricks" in their campaigns.

Anyone want to discuss which side relies more heavily on dirty tricks and
to what extent?
