25. Ad hominem attacks
In watching the Lauer/Coulter interaction it seems that
Coulter cannot understand the fundamental difference between
attacking ideas and attacking persons. No one has ever denied
this evil skank the right to debate the ideas proposed by the
Jersey Girls, however when you dip into the ad hominem bag of
tricks then common decency steps in and people become enraged.
Coulter is at best a low-functioning individual (what were her
grades like at Michigan and Cornell? what do her actions say
about her social abilities?)who cannot debate/discuss ideas
and must resort to grenade lobbing and below-the-belt attacks.
I do not propose ignoring this mental midget but rather
attacking her ideas at every turn. Check and recheck her
"books", each is replete with plagiarism, loopy
logic and errors so sad that a high school freshman would
cringe. Confront her ideas head on everytime she speaks and if
some ad hominem comments slip into these head on collisions
then so be it. This fascista needs to learn that what goes
around eventually comes around.
