Wow! You called him 10 names in one sentence. Unfortunately, for you and your thesaurus...NOT AN ARGUMENT AGAINST HIM!!

Instead, it is an argument FOR HIM. Because in the absence of rational facts you crawled under the snake's belly.

Name Calling

"Name Calling is a device to make us form a judgment without examining the evidence on which it should be based. Here the propagandist appeals to our hate and fear. He does this by giving “bad names” to those individuals, groups, nations, races, policies, practices, beliefs, and ideals which he would have us condemn and reject. For example, “ Mormons are bigots and full of hate because they supported Proposition 8? is an attempt at Name Calling designed to stir up hate and dull reason in individuals who have put little thought into the issue. When you start Name Calling, your argument is finished.

Use of Name Calling without presentation of their essential meaning, without all their pertinent implications comprises perhaps the most common of all propaganda devices."

And then you think that an unflattering quote by somebody named Janet Daley (who dat?) somehow adds substance to your name-calling! LOL! Where did you get your education!?

Btw, your "Janet Daley" is apparently defending herself against the widespread accusations of bigotry and idiocy.

"Why am I considered a bigot or an idiot for wanting Britain to leave the EU"

Janet Daley
