Attack The Source
Atrios links to a Pandagon story which talks about a Media Matters For America story about Bill O'Reilly and Paul Krugman on CNBC's Tim Russert.
The last bastion of the bully is to attack the source to divert attention from the argument.
And Mr. O’Reilly was quite the bully.
There’s some video here.
Sure, when someone posts something from NewsMax I roll my eyes. But you have to look at the substance of the article and the argument if you intend to refute it.
Rather than doing that, Mr. O'Reilly points his little finger around and talks loudly as a substitute for argumentation.
