If the label sticks

Alicublog brings up a great point that I forgot to blog about this weekend:

I thought liberals were the ones that were all into moral relativism and shit.

Indeed, I have been called a moral relativist by a libertarian moron who didn't even know what it means. (When you're losing an argument to a liberal, you just have to find a good insult. Big words are better.)

However, so many conservatives have been using the dishonest argument "Saddam was worse" to justify the Abu Ghraib atrocities that we'll have to give conservatives the "moral relativism" label from now on.
