I agree, but I tried using that exact same logic with the CPC partisans on this site when they claimed that Paul Martin and the entire Liberal Party were all equally to blame for the Sponsorship Scandal when in reality the wrongdoing was isolated to a few members of the PMO staff (possibly including Jean Chretien himself, although that was never confirmed). Needless to say, my argument was not met with much agreement.
