Yes, he promised to leave and then was too much a blowhard coward to
follow though. Reminds me of bin Laden declaring war on us and then running
for the hills when we didn't back down. Cowards both.

I see this as a personal attack, not as a discussion or even critique of ideas.
And then there is this:

Well, certainly there are a number to ridicule, at least: Bill Clinton, after the infamous
Georgetown speech; Danny Glover, after his disgraceful performance at Princeton; and
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., for general nincompoopery.......That should start things off........

If you want to attack people personally do so, but don't try to make it "only" about ideas when it clearly isn't. You personify these people as evil incarnate based on their ideas. It seems quite obvious to me. If you would like to talk about ideas that would be refreshing, but you are all going to have to learn to leave out the ad Hominem attacks. The minute you add that to the mix, you've blown the chance to claim it was "only" ideas.
Hope this helps. |
