I just wanted to understand what language we were speaking because when the subject of Pat Buchanan comes up his "alleged" anti-Semitism is always the elephant in the room.

My reaction is that the ad hominem is not of much use in determining anything besides motive, that is, he can be an absolute Nazi but he could still be right-or he could be all wrong and be as innocent as Mother Teresa.

I try to keep from slipping into argumentum ad hominem even when it comes to people like Michael Weiner. Notwithstanding, Mr. Pat B. does give enough fuel to the notion himself.
