You imagine that you "criticize Noonan's criticism." What countless posts here have done, instead, is criticize her work and her personality in an effort to demean her and so demean her comments. That is an ad hominem attack. Insults are due to those whose only form of argument is the ad hominem.

As to my comment about your Bush fixation being "odd"--how would I possibly explain to you that your comments point toward a dislike for criticism of those who want unanimity on Bush's speech, in a way you would understand? You won't see my point because you've been too busy flinging insults from your very first post.
