The person or persons you are attempting to debate, behave like fabian socialists. That is, they demean and mislabel rather than actually discuss the article.

I pity the fool that can't see the forest for the trees. The folks you mention would fit the bill completely.

Then what do you say to people who debate by talking about the debaters behind their respective backs?

But to debate the article is even to accept the most basic of the premises.

If somebody were to post an article claiming that the moon was made of green cheese, in order to "debate" it, we would have to begin by accepting its premises.

Corsi is taking some think-tank articles, ambitious state highway projects (God forbid!), and boilerplate diplo-speak and weaving them into a conspiracy. But you can only tie these things together if you believe in the conspiracy in the first place.

So, fine, there is a conspiracy.

And I'm in charge.
