In a recent article John Meaders gives Eric Mading a few strokes for an 
article well written, and then infers that anyone that disagrees with John
about drug laws are obviously "drug abusers" (ie: drug fiend):

> I like your idea on how to deal with TV stars. 

Ie: Eric wants to fire them, kick them out of the union and blackball them 
forever. Jeez, shades of McCarthyism!! Shall we hold witch hunts too?

>  It is nice to see at least one other person here who isn't an

Let's see, that means that if I defend Gay rights, I must be homosexual. And 
if I defend black rights, I must have some black in my past. And if I defend 
animal rights, I must be a dog. Yeah, Right! You've learned Nazis tactics 
well John:

    "Zo, you say zat vee are beink cruel to za Jews Ehh!?!
     Perhapz zats becuz maybe you are a Jew, Hmmmm!?!"

Perhaps you should write a book:  "Better Debate Through Intimidation".
