...but the Authoritarian and Cult worshipping arguments have not been winning here on DU.

I'm not worried in the least about being "discredited" here. I'm been here too long to worry about such rubbish. Your arguments, however, have been roundly discredited. Look at the greatest page, my friend.

The "cult of personality" thing isn't the exclusive province of the right... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #1

I'm sure you aren't referring to fellow DUers when you make that thinly veiled accusation, right? nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #2

Read into it what you like... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #6

Yep, it stands as an attempt to make a broad brushed attack on a large segment of the DU community stevenleser Jul 2013 #16

That's your interpretation of what I said... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #18

RC seems to agree down below. It's not thinly veiled. And as I said, I was being generous. stevenleser Jul 2013 #22

No, I'm simply turning your ill-thought-out words back towards you. Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #25

You forgot to add a wink and 'You betcha" to the end of your post Sarah. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #26

There we go! THAT is a personal attack! Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #33

LOL. Yep it was. On Sarah Palin, and on anyone who might emulate her. Are you saying that's you? stevenleser Jul 2013 #37

No, it was a defacto PA on me - a weak attempt to equate me to Palin... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #43

LOL, you dont even see how I have trapped you in a massive hypocrisy here! nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #44

Thinly veiled? RC Jul 2013 #12

I was being generous and offering them a way out of what ostensibly would be a hide-worthy act. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #17

Truth and facts are hide worthy? RC Jul 2013 #19

No facts are being offered, only personal attacks based on emotion and personal animus. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #24

Please alert on my post if you feel a "personal attack" has taken place. Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #30

They why are so many here OK with the continuation of bu$h's policies. RC Jul 2013 #32

Name some folks who are. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #36

So you can or one of your friends alert on it as a call out? RC Jul 2013 #38

Nope, I've done this before and simply asked the accused person to respond. And what you will get is stevenleser Jul 2013 #42

Check this out. RC Jul 2013 #46

Alert on it, Skippy! Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #20

I rarely alert. I prefer to allow people to discredit themselves like you are doing. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #23

Hmm... I'm not sure if you've noticed... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #28

This is your way of asserting you aren't making broad brushed attacks based on personal animus? stevenleser Jul 2013 #35

Another PA! *snarf* I merely suggested you inventory the Greatest Page... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #39

That's what I thought. At least RC above has the intellectual honesty and courage to try and back up stevenleser Jul 2013 #52

Yet another PA... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #55
