NY Times tries to torpedo anti-Obama book; succeeds in spreading its message
The Democrats are using logical fallacies to attack the book OBAMA NATION and its author Jerome Corsi.
Firstly, the argumentum ad hominem, attacking the man not the argument, the person not the idea.
Then, “poisoning the well”. No one drinks from a poisoned well. So, they level a range of attacks on Corsi that have nothing to do with the contents of his book.
Namecalling is intellectual food fighting not rational debate.
The Swiftboat book was rational, logical and libel proof. On that basis, I bought this one.
And what I see from the Democrats is much frothing at the mouth which I find totally unpersuasive. Namecalling and nitpicking won’t do the job. For starters, Obama has many questions to answer about his involvement in Odinga’s Kenya campaign and the shoddy housing for the poor he and Tony Rezko were involved in.
