Right-wingers have no monopoly on showing bad faith in intellectual arguments. But I've become something of an afficionado of the propaganda perpetrated by sites like Campus Watch, the David Project, FrontpageMagazine, Stand With Us, Neuwirth, ZOA, & Masada2000. That's what I was referring to in my comment. These Jewish extremists make such fraudulent argumentation a hallmark of their analysis. Bar_Kochba: That is certainly right.

In fact I have seen "many Progressive ideologues" do it, too. I don't think sloppy reasoning is the exclusive province of any particular political or ideological group. Richard, you said:

I think it's important that they be accountable for their behavior.

Thanks for what you have done, Richard. The results have given lot of people great satisfaction.

I am glad that you press on despite the headaches Richard. Thank you and best regards!
