In reply to the discussion: Louise Mensch makes no bones about being a conservative. I don't care. [View all]nocalflea
(1,387 posts)Louise has put in countless hours of research, she has sought out advice from respected experts from the law, technology and intelligence communities (and unlike some, she has shared her data/work product). For these reasons, I believe Louise is sincere.
Louise's inability to moderate her behavior is problematic. Her inability to take or ignore criticism leads to twitter feuds galore, ad-hominem attacks and accusations which her devotees rush to take part in (ex N. Jamali).She does nothing to dissuade them. Yes, Louise is the victim of a concerted campaign to discredit her (some of the people attacking her are disinfo agents).
Louise's black or white absolutism leads her to knee-jerkingly label people as enemies or traitors and "Team Trump"- former CIA deputy director Mike Morrell, a staunch anti-Trumper was labeled this after praising the Syria missle attack. His praise was consistent with his views re Syria going back at least three years (The man once praised Hil. Clinton's compassion in an interview with Ch. Rose, for god's sake).All this makes it difficult for me to trust Louise's judgement.
I believe Louise does have sources. I believe, that she believes her sources are who they say they are. Again, I believe she is sincere.
It is Louise's lack of judgement, that makes it extremely difficult for me to trust her sources.Jamali was a source,now he's Team Treason.
