  Re: Ad hominem attacks
 
(...) I like that coinage. <snipped what I agree with> (...) If there were a substantive difference in kind between the GOP and the Dems I'd say maybe. But there isn't, and I fear Dubya has cronies of his own. Perhaps they won't be as venal as the (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ad hominem attacks
 
(...) It seems that McCarthyism (spelling?) has returned to America. Or, perhaps, we could coin a more modern phrase: Agendaism. Our society, by in large, has abandoned a belief in principles of objective truth that have a moral imperative upon our (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) Note that I think Scott is speaking in the abstract here, he's not accusing Sel of being leftist per se. (...) NO WAY! You can only be a racist if you're a male WASP. Everyone else is part of the oppressed, and therefore, by definition, can't (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
Selçuk, (...) Well, sir, when you exhibit classical signs of leftism, I will cal you a leftist. IF you don't like Gulliani, fine, but calling him a Nazi is typical liberal / Democratic rhetoric. If a call Al Sharpton a racist, then I am at fault, (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) Yet it is easy to demonstrate that liberals are leftist and marxist, while the label of nazi is not at all applicable to Giulliani. Applying the label correctly is not hyperboly. Applying a label incorrectly, when it doesn't remotely ressemble (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) I agree on this. It's just as strange as calling anyone you don't like as "leftist" or "marksist" or whatever...:-) Selçuk (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  What is Scott saying now? Was: (Re: Wench as a word)
 
Larry, I think it all started when, in the context of defining a wench, I called Hillary a Marxist wench, and Ed, obviously a Hillary fan, got disjointed and started laying out all this other stuff. I just just Traficant as an example of me liking (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) How many is that? :-) ... one? Counting yourself of course. (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) c /Guillani/Giuliani/ ?? I'm not sure. I'd expect a New Yorker to know how to spell it, though so if you say it's actually the way you spelled it, sorry! Er, who are we talking about here... HRC, RG, Howard Stern, or all of the above? :-) I'd (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) According to the strict definition of the word, Nazi is very appropriate for the Clintons and liberals of their bent. It involves a totalitarian control of industry and the economy, and is similar to Fascism - both of which (Nazi and Fascist) (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Ad hominem attacks
 
I ran across this nosing around. I found it interesting. (URL) ask, is it appropriate for cigarette taxes to fund groups engaged in political diatribe, character assassination and compiling "enemies lists"? (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) OK. That's the first I heard about the 1984 part, but I wasn't reading that closely, I had a project plan to tweak. But what are we debating here, anyway? The subject doesn't seem to match the words. Traficant is a garden variety pol. Scott (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  HUGE NEWS FOR THE WRESTLING WORLD
 
Waaaayyyy off Lego, but I just found this out so I had to let all the good Lugnet wrestling fans know this. ERIC BISCHOFF IS IN CHARGE OF WCW! No BS, this is absolutely true. Bill Busch sucked, and hopefully Bischoff can bring the WCW back around. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
Ed, (...) So, he gets acquitted in a criminal case, and somehow, in civil court, he owes 100,000 to the US tax court for taking bribes? That is what is fishy, Ed. Maybe your reading on it seems a little strange, hence, fishy. Why isn't the IRS after (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word

  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) Yes, your reading is fishy. From the article: "Although Traficant was acquitted in criminal court, he was less successful in civil court. His latest financial disclosure form indicates that he still owes more than $100,000 to the Internal (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) to (...) aquittal, (...) Considering that the Civil Court decision was in 1984, and that there is no appeal on file, and the statute of limitations has run out. Owning back taxes and then not paying the back taxes owed is not paying taxes. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wench as a word
 
(...) It's not real here either. It's not real anywhere. However some newsgroup denizens do tend to view using hitler in an argument as a sign of weak rhetoric. That's been extended, in characteristic internet style, to be the joke of as soon as you (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
