That is what you have to resort to? Ad Homnem?

Why not direct some Ad Homs at those idiots at EuroMaidan for having an interview with...with... Soros of all people.

And why not direct some Ad Homs at Soros, huh?

Do you like McCain, Obama, Soros or Putin?

I don’t care for any of them.

We need to stay out of this, and you should know this!!!

I’m against Obama and Putin. I need to learn more about Soros to hate him the way others do here.

The term is actually ad hominem which is Latin for an argument made "toward the man" - i.e. an argument that takes the form of:

Specific person X says Y is the case.
But X is a jerk.
Therefore Y is not the case.

Surely, Lfc, you realize the irony of complaining about ad hominem arguments on a thread that is dedicated to singling out a specific person - George Soros - for abuse.

This thread is a masterclass in ad hominem reasoning from its very start.
