The TNR critique was a left wing critique! I guess we know where you stand now.

You know what's really cute? No matter how many Nazis and Troofers back your guy, I can't recall anyone who opposes Paul saying that your support of Paul means you're Nazis. And yet, if someone cites a liberal attack on Paul (or even just criticizes him on their own) you guys accuse them of being leftists, or on the Giuliani payroll, or whatever. And then...here's the best part...you screech about "guilt by association."

As for where I stand, I'm a professional writer, and I know what it takes to put out a publication like a magazine or a newsletter. Anyone who says they published a newsletter for five years under their name without "micromanaging it" (i.e., reading the bloody thing) is either lying or stupid. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say "stupid."

Good to know where you stand. With Bill Clinton, for gun control like Bush, and for abortion.

Ah, now I see the great intellectual prowess that caused you to become a Paul supporter.

“You know what’s really cute? No matter how many Nazis and Troofers back your guy, I can’t recall anyone who opposes Paul saying that your support of Paul means you’re Nazis.”

I didn’t say that either, meaning you set up a red herring and then attacked me over it. Pretty slick there!

“And yet, if someone cites a liberal attack on Paul (or even just criticizes him on their own) you guys accuse them of being leftists”

Right, because YOU cited the TNR article as a valid attack - meaning you implicitly agree with the attack.

“you guys accuse them of being leftists, or on the Giuliani payroll,”

Who are ‘my guys?’ I’m only responsible for my own words - again the guilt by association thing based on a red herring.

“or whatever. And then...here’s the best part...you screech about “guilt by association.””

You just did it - in the same paragraph,

You were thumped again. Badly.

“As for where I stand, I’m a professional writer, and I know what it takes to put out a publication like a magazine or a newsletter. Anyone who says they published a newsletter for five years under their name without “micromanaging it” (i.e., reading the bloody thing) is either lying or stupid. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say “stupid.””

A professional writer?

Based on your writing on this thread, I urge your employer to get a refund.

Did you write the article you posted, yourself? Are you Nick Curran?

“Ah, now I see the great intellectual prowess that caused you to become a Paul supporter.”

Look - YOU defended the TNR article’s assertations. THat means you implicitly agree with the left-wing attack.
