Isn't that an antonym?

They are just illiterate idiots! What they really mean is 'same thing' or 'no difference'. It really annoys me when people say it though LOL!

Odd, isn't it? Then again in the last primary election some Democrats supported Hillary and some Obama and some supported other candidates, but even though they had differences in opinion as to who the next President should be, they were universal in their belief that it should not be a Republican. Protestant, in the context of Christianity, was originally a term given to any of the German princes who protested against the decision of the Diet of Speyer in 1529, which had denounced the Reformation. Catholicism, which grew from the ministry of, I believe, Peter, and thus felt that their beliefs were "universal in extent" which is what catholic means. Evangelicals emphasize the teachings and authority of the Scriptures, esp. of the New Testament, in opposition to the institutional authority of the church itself. Though they do not all worship in the same way, they all do believe the Jesus is indeed the Christ, and as such will offer salvation for their immortal souls. Though I do not share any of these beliefs, I can see how they are able to rally together, in spite of their differences, to condemn the beliefs of non-Christians. I'm not saying it's right; it's just the way it is. I was an Obama supporter, but I believe that Clinton, or even Kucinich would have been a better choice than McCain.

Shovel or Spade ...it's pretty much 'The Same difference.'
There are differences between shovels and spades, as there are between Guns, those devices used to shoot bullets ~ a Revolver or an Automatic! ...they are different in how they operate, although they work on the same principle (until someone needs to pinpoint with accuracy the weapon used).
Sports car & Station wagon: 'Cars' = the Same Difference.
Boeing 747 & C.130: ‘Aircraft’ = the Same Difference
Fruit & Vegetables: ‘Food’ = the Same Difference.
Trust that it helps clarification!

It's an idiom used to explain there is No difference between 2 or more things being compared.
Another similar idiom is, "6 of one, half dozen of the other."

It means that something is stated in a different way but means the same thing.

They mean it's the same thing just said different.
No, not antonym, more like oxymoron.

It means the same thing and that there is no difference between the things you are comparing/talking about.

When things are so similar, the differences between them really doesn't mean much, as witnessed in this exchange
"What the hell is that, Derek?"
"It's a gerbil, Rodney."
"It looks more like a hamster to me, Del."
"Hamster, gerbil, same difference."
