Yeah, a lot of people don’t like it when objective standards are promoted,
and seek to invalidate them by attacking the person espousing them. That’s what’s happening here.
I really don’t care what a person’s past is, or whether in the past they have failed to meet those objective standards, it doesn’t in any way invalidate the correctness of those standards.
It does, however, make you less likely to trust them and more likely to see a hidden agenda.
Especially if you have your own tried and true standards that are pretty strong on their own.
As far as personal attacks go....If Laura had the personality of Barnie on her show, I’d say peronal attacks are out of line.
However, since her schtick is to brutalize just about every caller....then PLAY BALL!
