In response to "UW Socialist noble but wrong" by Corey Sheahan:
Wow, an econ major writing a column about the FREE MARKET? I’m shocked.
Soviets, Cubans, and Chinese… Ooh, we wouldn’t want to be like them. I guess you made your point without any possible counterpoint. Love, Europe and Canada.
Hey, for all you ardent free marketers out there, remember this: Libertarianism is nothing more than right-wing socialism. Both sound good in practice, both rely on humans to behave in a way that they never do, and both always fail in practice.
How sweet would an ISO-Spart cage match be?
In response to "Hahn's rhetoric obscures 9/11 lessons" by Paul Heideman:
A million Iraqi’s? Wow. Where’d you get that? That’s more inflated than Al Sharpton’s ego/hair.
In response to "9/11 a day for remembrance" by Mike Hahn:
Giuliani wants to be elected your next surrogate father.
In response to "A call for objectivity" by Jesse Allhands:
Whatever country made Bin Laden and Hussein powerful should be ashamed.
Bush planned 9/11, we never landed on the moon, FDR knew about Pearl Harbor, the earth is flat.
In response to "Leaving children, rationality behind" by Bassey Etim:
Everyone knows that K12 “education” is only a clever disguise for daycare. Think of all the parents who would have to quit their jobs to take care of children if there wasn’t a state-mandated babysitter ready and willing to mold little Billy’s mind into a God-fearing patriot.

Actually, the number of one million Iraqi deaths has been corroborated by multiple sources. Originally it was based on an extrapolation from trends based on the Summer of 2006 Lancet Epidemiological survey. Then, using Iraq Body Counts’ data combined with the Lancet survey, justforeignpolicy.org came up with a similar number. Finally, a series of face to face interviews conducted by orb produced a number of 1.2 million. When three different methodologies arrive at the same number, it says something about its validity.

Three blind mice…
So there’s three biased sources? So what?
Allegations of bias are ad hominems, and do nothing to discredit the argument itself. They are the lazy man’s rebuttal, requiring no actual examination of an opponent’s argument. They’re actually quite circular, disqualifying an opponent’s argument because she disagrees with you (which is, after all, the very premise on which an argument can be had).
