Dickey BS: Noam Chomsky on Iran, etc. (110* d) RE: BS: Noam Chomsky on Iran, etc. 07 Jun 07

At least we can say that if Noam Chomsky does it, it must be OK for others to do it regardless of the fact that he says it is not OK.

Does a double standard come into play here? One standard for Chomsky and another for everybody else.

"contagious mental weakness. Dickey is a prime carrier, right up there with Tarheel."

Now what does that have to do with the validity of my assertion? That is a personal Ad Hominem attack designed to discredit my assertion.


"Classic argumentum ad hominem:   

The fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument.

How many personal attacks do you mount every day Amos?
