Yes, but calling Frum a "witless hack" is pretty strong evidence that you are not thinking rationally. Frum got two degrees from Yale, a JD from Harvard, has a long history of success in various fields (and is currently a senior editor at one of the top magazines in the world). You can't honestly think that he's "witless," and he's been arguing hard against his own preferred party so "hack" in the sense of political hack is obviously false, too. Just be honest about the naked tribalism here.
So you're just falling back on pedantry as usual. No, I do not think Frum is legitimately below average intelligence. And, obviously, no reasonable observer would presume that or think of being so pedantic. I characterized him as "witless" because he's generally not a dynamic thinker and has been unable to free himself from the same American conservative suppositions that were so proved outdated in 2016 when his movement left him so isolated. I called him a "hack" because he's willing to propagate bad faith arguments that other badly motivated partisans have put forward despite there being ample evidence discrediting them (which I provided you) and despite him clearly being able to grasp that evidence.
There are posters here, including you, who are Berniebots (that is, who are so passionate in their fandom for Bernie that you aren't able to address points rationally and just lash out angrily at people not in your tribe).
And yet no one else here has made that allegation, to me at last, other than you - and directly after embarrassing yourself by making an irrational and emotional stand against reality last month.
"Demonstrated" doesn't mean what you think it does. And LOL at the idea that you know more than me about logic. We both know that you don't even believe that.
In re your first sentence, we can notch another title for your pathological, but surely heroic nevertheless, lack of self-awareness. As for your chest thumping, no, I don't respect your grasp of logic whatsoever. I've called you a good writer and a smart man generally, but I've never held your logic or your honesty in too-too high a regard. Though, to be sure, it's entirely possible that your chronic "doesn't mean what you think it means" posts are more due to your dishonesty than your not knowing better.
Of course, Trots. Everyone who disagrees with you is a flawed person at their core and some kind of monster or undergoing personal problems.
Hmm, no. Fawlty has still never to date
actually disagreed with me on any particular issue. It's purely venom. And given that no less than three disinterested posters yesterday asked some form of "who pissed in his cornflakes." Also, I can't think of a specific time that
you disagreed with me either, except for when you lashed out about it not being true that there were reasonable bases for casual voters to think Trump the dove and Hillary the hawk or that there was prevalent public sentiment to that miscalculation. Since embarrassing yourself then, it's been a matter of personal vendetta to you. No real political or ideological issues.
Also, you're being silly. There are posters who disagree with me much more than you do who I hold in the highest regard in terms of their mental wellness and moral character. Gandhi, for instance, is someone for whom I hold an enormous amount of respect, despite him being much farther from me than you are politically.
