And you want to burn a source just to poison the well for Rick Perry?

Explain.

IOW you want to exclude, do you, the Atlantic from use as a source at all ....

In order to execute a rhetorical fallacy called "poisoning the well"? Example: "All stories in The New York Times are lies, and therefore nothing printed in same can ever be used or relied upon." That's poisoning the well.

And you would do that just to help ..... Rick Perry?
