You used a genetic fallacy there, attacking the labels of a person and using that slander as a reason that his statement is wrong. It's like saying my opponent is a muffin-eater, and we all know that muffin eaters are to be despised, so his statement about cats is incorrect. Do you believe that all anti-semites make invalid points about the world? Or is it true that ONLY NON anti-Semitic people can say true things? It doesn't matter if George S Patton just got done eating 15 babies for lunch. His argument stands/falls on its own weight. Attack his argument directly, not make a political attack against his person and dismiss his argument that way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_fallacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_fallacy
