He makes some sense, of course, but it's still the same old Viguerie whine. He's a terminal cranky noodge. Everyday is a new doomsday sounding the death knell for Conservatism, all around is betrayal to the True Conservative Cause:

You said nothing in that post to discredit or prove Richard Viguerie wrong.

You cannot deny or fight his assertions so you try to tar and feather the messenger instead of showing the rest of us, using facts and reason, why his assertions are wrong.

Weak and cowardly approach to discussing the issue at hand.

Viguerie's history discredits Viguerie well enough. And my intent was not to "prove him wrong" (in fact, I pointedly noted that he made some sense). It was to shine a light on Viguerie. To place his pessimistic remarks in the overall context of his undeniable history of being a whining Chicken Little crank who's made a career out of pompously carping at his supposed fellow conservatives. So what if he happens to be right in this or that particular assessment? One can say the same of those who wear old newspapers and rant and rave on street corners.

Weak and cowardly approach to discussing the issue at hand.

So says he from a behind an anonymous nickname on a computer in a different state.
