re: #540 Charles
Ad hominem attacks are exactly the proper response to a lunatic who carries Hitler signs and says things like “Nazi health care.”
Treating this craziness like any other opinion is what got us into this sad state. We need more politicians who will stop treating the lunatics with kid gloves and make it clear that 1) they’re crazy, and 2) their views deserve no respect from sane people.
My opinion is that you can do 1) and 2) more effectively without ad-hominems. I certainly could.
