Conservative blogger John Hawkins of Right Wing News has now decided to join Michael Medved in a new ad hominem attack by using a disparaging adjective to call me a name (“kooky”)

Well Jerome, believing that President Bush is going to abolish the Constitution and destroy our currency, the most respected currency in the world, by merging it with the meaningless Canadian dollar and the basket case peso thereby crushing our economy is, well, kooky. Do you also think he'll accomplish all this by January 2009? This has nothing to do with ad hominem attacks. Hawkins and Medved are just stating the obvious. If you're going to incite this kind of conspiratorial nonsense maybe you should grow thicker skin.

My writing has been aimed at making sure that North American integration does not advance to the point where a North American Union emerges...

Your writing has been aimed at selling books by appealing to the paranoid instincts of those who don't possess the critical thinking skills necessary to see you for the opportunist and demagogue you really are.

Even though we share the same initials, I'm not Jerome Corsi.

I'm with you on this one. Prof. Corsi needs to be reminded that it's not difficult to look-up his previous statements on the topic. In other words, one cannot run about claiming that Pres. Bush has a "secret plan" to dissolve the United States of America without taking the risk of being called a conspiracist. Moreover, one cannot defend himself of the charge by simply stating that the SPP exists. His problem is his contention why it exists.

If and when the tradable-goods sector in the United States should suffer from large-scale monetary and exchange-rate instability, interest in monetary union will surely increase.

RE: "appealing to the paranoid instincts of those who don't possess the critical thinking skills necessary to see [Mr. Corsi as a] opportunist and demagogue."

Elsewhere on this thread I posted my shock at Mr. Medved's rantings on his radio show. Today I learned of his townhall blog. Pretty much the same stuff.

"bastards and creeps and jug-heads and drunks and reprobates" (there's tons more) Me thinks Mr. Medved is reliving his days as a 1970s liberal "debating" conservatives. It's how liberals debate.

I have never heard nor read anything from Mr. Corsi or any others who are concerned about SPP and such that suggested that they have gone over the edge.

Mr. Medved says, there are "a shameless collection of lunatics and losers; crooks, cranks, demagogues and opportunists, who claim the existence of a top secret master plan to join the U.S., Canada and Mexico in one big super-state"

Mr. Medved says that opponents believe there's a "malevolent, hidden agenda to abolish the USA."

Can you find, in a legitimate source, where Mr. Corsi or any other critic has based his opposition on fears of abolishing the US of A?

"If those jerks could be so wrong about Y2K, why should you give the slightest credence to their warnings and alarms over this latest hysteria?"

I represent that!

Y2k, that is. Mr. Medved has no knowledge of the millions of lines of legacy "big iron" code world wide. Had that code not been corrected in the years leading up to 2000 -- actually years before 2000 -- a lot of people would have thought the world ended as routine commerce crashed hourly.

Later he says it again (for emphasis?), "the brain-dead, laughableY2K scare."

Mr. Medved says that he's never seen do many trying to push discussion "out of the sunlight of sanity and rational discourse and into the fever swamps of sickness and delusion and dementia."

Then he screams "TREAT THEM WITH THE DERISION AND CONTEMPT AND DISREGARD THEY SO RICHLY DESERVE."

Then he may have really stepped in it. He mentions the Paul Revere Society and asks "what happened to the funds you contributed" to it? Possible law suit coming? He's accusing Michael Savage of embezzlement? Gee, I wonder which one will be Rosie and which one will be the Donald?

Mr. Medved finishes by saying, "I will never lie to you."

Hmmm, I think he's going to be Rosie.

sounds like a quote one might have found over at DU when Unfit for Command was released.
