Dems 2007 Syria trip: apples=apples. GOP media cronies insist apples=oranges.
APPLES = APPLES:
Pelosi's congressional mission to Syria that included a Republican congressman should be compared to only ONE other trip - the trip taken days earlier by congressional Republican congressmen. That is the trip that no one in corpmedia (too lazy minded) or the GOP mouthpieces (intentionally deceptive) want to bring up.
From 2007:

Pitts in Syria before Pelosi
But county’s U.S. rep. draws less criticism
While U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's upcoming visit to Syria has caused the White House to bristle, a little-publicized rendezvous took place Sunday between Syria's president and Lancaster County's congressman.
And though Bush administration officials have been criticizing Pelosi, it's not clear what role the White House and the U.S. Department of State played when U.S. Rep. Joe Pitts and two other Republican congressmen met with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Pitts is a Chester County Republican who represents Lancaster County.

APPLES = ORANGES:
GOP talking points are spreading in articles and news reports all over the corporate media that the UNPRECEDENTED, seditious sounding letter sent by 47 GOP senators to Iran's leaders should be compared equally to Pelosi's COMMONPLACE, and common practice trip to Syria in 2007.
No difference….See?

Sadly, even some DUers are promoting this here in their alleged 'concern' that Democrats are making too much of this seditious sounding letter.
Fight the urge to side with the lies crafted for the lazy minded media and the dumbed down GOP voter base - apples are apples.
