All that is Republican is good; all this is Democratic is bad. You need to open the other eye guy. Life is actually varicolored, multicolored, not simply Republican white and Democratic black. Good heavens. To:wstera_02 who wrote (2789) From: JohnM Friday, Jun 27, 2003 3:56 PM View Replies (2) \| Respond to of 5129 All true, save I don't think I'm Fox News. My POV pays more attention to justice, is more inclusive, and is more humane. So varicolored, so multicolored, so very not white and black. Bravo for our Philosopher King! Derek

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". :)
