If only McCain recognised the evils lurking in liberalism. He’s certainly the more recognisably liberal of the two candidates.

More ad hominems from you.

What ad hominem? You do know what ad hominem means, don’t you?

There are only so many hours in a day. I have a family, and an education, and a career to attend to. Unlike some, I can’t spend umpteen hours a day perusing the bowels of the internet. There have to be some heuristics to separate the wheat from the chaff on blogs, and not reading comments by psuedonyms, especially psuedonyms like knuckledragger, is one I have found useful. Now you may argue that I miss some gems in the process (an argument you have already undermined), but that argument is not the same as ad hominem.

I don’t reject his statements because I disapprove of his name, I completely miss his statements because I filter past them.

Man, for some preening intellects, some of you Vox-Novans prove yourself incapable of getting through freshman year at a state University.

“Actually, I make it a practise not to read comments from commenters with psuedonyms like “knuckledragger”.”

Don’t read the Bible then. Or many great documents of church history. While I don’t agree with much which is said by knuckledragger, one thing I do find wrong: ad hominems based upon the fact someone is using a name other than their own.

Oh, and who are you quoting above, Micheal?

I never called him an American hero. He’s certainly not Admiral Stockdale.

Although Obama has heaped just such praise upon McCain.

Actually, I make it a practise not to read comments from commenters with psuedonyms like “knuckledragger”.

Now having gone back to read his comment, I simply must concur with S.B.

The difference is glaring to anyone who has not sold their soul one of the various death-cults.

Michael,

It may be disgusting, but, unfortunately, it’s reality.
