I would say that character assassination is below you, except that it is one of the major tools in your propaganda arsenal.

Instead of trashing Stoller you could argue that Obama had at least pulled us back from the brink, etc. But, no - you've got to take the low road - as usual.

Obama seems to have at last woken up to this income inequality thing - let's all hope it isn't just more campaign rhetoric. In the meantime we can thank articles like this for bringing it to his attention - or at least getting enough people pissed off about it that it's HAD to come to his attention.

...makes no sense whatsoever.

It's especially simple if you don't address the point Stoller is making in the article. Karmadillo Apr 2012 #11
