Just be honest about it.

I am sure Scott can speak for himself, but I can't see why questioning the
political motives of either side betrays a leaning for one side or the
other.  Further, I imagine that Scott is working against the perception that
news information in the U.S., at least, sides with the govt. agenda in
generally being pro-Israel.

Again, this whole post of yours is in the way of an ad hominem attack --
attempting to equate Scott's questioning of motives as siding with
terrorists.  As if those things were even remotely equivalents!

Your pointed lack of reason galls me.  You have stated absolutely nothing of
substance!  If you had argued any facts, if you had made anything like a
formal argument (and this instead of a personal attack) -- I wouldn't now be
addressing anything but your reasoning. When and if you EVER have anything
interesting to say, I am sure we will be happy to hear from you again.
Until then, you can certainly count me out.

You want an ad hominem attack, John?  See if you can guess which finger I
have raised in your general direction...and right, this is not debate.  It's
mud-slinging.  Come get some, you fatuous @$$****!

(...) Is that your "informed" impartial opinion? It doesn't bother me that Liberals have certain ideas and opinions-- that's their right. It's when they try and pass them off as impartial and unbiased that sends me. You claim to not have taken sides (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
