Our respective propositions are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I believe you could substitute "Democrats" on "Medicare" for "Robertson" on the "Clinton murders" or "Salvation" and have a perfectly analogous syllogism. Yet your response is dangerously close to a "tu quoque" fallacy of reasoning. Loosely translated from the Latin, tu quoque means "You're one too!" Moreover, the response assumes because I think the Fallwell/Robertson Clinton murder conspiracy is bunk, that I am a Democrat who supports their bogus pronoucements on Medicare. Not true. As I tried to point out to somebody during the O.J. trial who contended that Furhman was a racist, therefore, O.J. was set up: There is/was no inherent contradiction between the propositions that Furhman was indeed a racist and that O.J. is/was a stone, cold murderer, especially given the lack of evidence that Furhman planted evidence. While it didn't help that Furhman took the fifth when asked that specific question (e.g., "Did you plant evidence?"), the point remains a valid one IMHO.
