No John, I simply noted a clear flaw in the research methods used and commented on it. In response, you've chosen to be rude and personal. I may be a nice guy, but I recognize when someone is deliberately using an ad-hominem attack.

Abusive: An Abusive Ad Hominem occurs when an attack on the character or other irrelevant personal qualities of the opposition--such as appearance--is offered as evidence against her position. Such attacks are often effective distractions ("red herrings"), because the opponent feels it necessary to defend herself, thus being distracted from the topic of the debate.

Typically when something like that happens in the political discussion arena, the person getting nasty, is suffering from cognitive dissonance.

Do you honestly believe, based on the information given that his research methods were sound? That he removed enough noise to *prove* something?

Puleeeze...As John Stossel would say, "give me a break". :)
