Well good, that settles it then. I came right out and said that Haekel was a full-on racist.

That's fine.

Do you agree with the author's assesment that the use of images is used to evoke an emotional response, rather than present a reasoned argument?

Yes, images can be misused in that way. However, some images, if they speak to some deep moral outrage, would be less than accurate if they failed to produce an emotional response. It all depends on the context. For instance, an image or images that produce a strong negative emotional response by showing a partial birth abortion procedure would be more accurate than a set of images that fail to produce the same. Again, it all depends on the context.

Conversely, evos utilize images to propogate their propoganda, while stomping on reaoned arguments AND elicit an emotional response, like Sarah Palin riding a dinosaur comes to mind.
