I just wanted to let you know that I have been reading for a while and I would like to sign up for the feed. I’ll give it a try but I will need some help. This is a great find and I would hate to lose contact, and maybe never find it again.

Anyway, thanks again and I look forward to reading again in the future!

That is, in fact, an ad hominem fallacy.

I think the vapid charge would apply to many – the most important of which would be the media – but it doesn’t seem to matter to anyone. Wouldn’t Chris Hitchens normally find THAT “weird”?

Along the same lines, I listened when a coworker commented about how during one of the town-hall style debates that McCain appeared unintentionally “threatening” physically – the way his movement-impaired arms occasionally would gesture awkardly – as he made a point to a questioner in the audience.

I was in the process of saying “But you do know, that’s because both arms were broken when he went down on a bombing mission and they healed badly during a 5+ year stay in a North Vietnamese prison camp” but I relented because he had already placed the earplugs in his ears from his Ipod Shuffle and had turned back to his desk.

So it goes; one guy is pilloried because of juvenilia like this – “looked weird”, or “vaguely threatening arm movements” while Mr. O coasts on a suspect, yet thoroughly uninspected record, feelgood platitudes, and the ability to whip up a crowd.

Let’s hope Mr. O has included actual “competence and leadership” somewhere in the mix – (the Joe Biden choice does not quell my fears in this regard) – or my friends, we will have been charmed right into a worse toilet than one we are already in.

I like Chris, I have always have whether I agreed with him or not. But I have had the sense for the last year or two, that he is a stray dog. Not really loyal to anyone or any institution. With his endorsement of Obama, he’s feeding again from the left’s dish, but he won’t stay long and he’ll be back to bite you guys in the ass.

Woody argues with reason, and the rest of you attack. The irony in your use of products of free markets and free minds (namely the internet, computer, electricity, etc.) to attack the proponents of free markets, capitalism, reason… in support of a racist demagogic terrorist sypathizing communist that is Obama. Enjoy your new Thugocracy. Atlas Shruggs and walks away.

He’s admittedly a neo-con, but an apologist for McCain’s foreign policy advisers? Check out the article he wrote, The Case against Henry Kissinger. Written as to form the “basis of a legal prosecution for war crimes”

And for what reason would Marc invite you to be a guest speaker in his jounalism class. Why woulod kids parents dole out big bucks to hear someone who, for all we know, has no experience, no expertise and littel qualification or backround in journalism. I dont mean to insult you as there would be no reason for me to speak in front of the class either. I thought that you guys believe in merit. Explain your propensity towards pompousness please!
