As a total asideTea Party =/= birthers anymore than homicidal clowns = Democrats. rof
This sentence is perfectly reasonable and meaningful in regular English usage, but in a programming sense, (or w/e), it says the opposite of what's intended.
Code:
Tea Party does not equal birthers anymore than homicidal clowns equal Democrats.
[Totally normal sentence that says what is intended]
(The amount that TP does not equal birthers) ≤ (the amount that homicidal clowns = Democrats)
tp ≠ birthers is true and homicidal clowns = Democrats is at least as true.
[crazy interpretation that would be valid in a much different context and which is the opposite of what was intended]
tp ≠ birthers is true and homicidal clowns = Democrats is at least as false
[weird way of conveying the intent of the original]
Anyway, that's my little Peggy Hill musing for the morning
