zonder, my post was entirely correct. You are trying to argue that calling someone a moron is not an ad hominem attack but calling someone a liar is? In fact, I demonstrated the lie but you cannot demonstrate the validity of the moron epithet. Do you think that the Harvard Business School grants MBA degreees to morons? As far as Mendela is concerned, I once admired him but that speech where he descended into racism was despicable. Both Bush as well as Tony Blair are undermining an idea which was sponsored by their predecessors," Mandela said about the United Nations. "Is this because the secretary general of the United Nations is now a black man?" he asked, referring to Kofi Annan.

zonder the stupid. LOL.... Suggesting the President is a Racist because he disagree with that stupid black guy coffee is an ad hominem attack. Obviously you agree by your argument that my proclaiming zonder the stupid is not an ad hominem attack in your opinion. So I use your logic on you as an example. You have demonstrated such stupidity. However you selective quoting of an article to prove your point was stupid at best and dishonest at worse. However I agree with Alastair McIntosh who posted. #reply-18574381 zonder, documenting a lie is not ad hominem. Perhaps a better example of ad hominem would be the repeated referral to Bush as a "moron" and the comparison of him to Hitler by a German candidate in their recent election. end of reply. Until such time as someone refutes with reason and logic the assertion of this book. The Leadership Genius of George W. Bush: 10 Commonsense Lessons from the Commander in Chief Carolyn B. Thompson, James W. Ware ISBN: 0-471-42006-9 Calling President Bush a moron is obviously ad hominem attack. ONLY STUPID PEOPLE CANNOT SEE MY CLEAR LOGIC.
