That's directed to comparison with other parties in general, not to anything you said.
If I say, "X party did that too", I'm not saying it's pointless to talk about, I'm looking to see if the poster will condem that too, or try to distinguish it. Usually, they try to distinguish it, which tells me that the opinion is pretty much just partisian blather.
Like if a Republican complains about Democratic Congress spending. If a democrat responds, "Bush wasn't exactly Mr. Fiscal responsibility", the response to that is telling. If the republican tries to distinguish Bush as being somehow better, then they're just making a partisian argument. If they, "Bush sucked too", then they have a little more credibility (IMO) Or if someone goes hard after Clinton and Roberts on infedelity but downplays McCain.
