» Brian Tubbs - Once again....

In response to Daniel Flynn on Howard Zinn posted by pink101:
You sidestep and ignore the POINTS made by Flynn - and instead just dismiss him as a "right wing nut." I frankly am not that familiar with Flynn's politics. I know he's conservative, and that he has written against the "Blame America First" crowd that lurks in left-wing circles. But, beyond that, i'm not that familiar with him. He may be a "right-wing nut" (whatever that means) or he may not be. Frankly, it seems to me that any conservative who disagrees with you strongly is a "right-wing" nut in your eyes.

Pink, you show little to no ability to reason things out in a fair-minded way, to debate things in a cordial and constructive way - that is, unless it's with people you generally agree with.

I cited SPECIFIC charges raised by Flynn against Zinn, and you have NOTHING to say against them, except that Flynn is a "right-wing nut." That's not a response. It's little more than a juvenile, mean-spirited shove. Is that the best you can do?

BOTTOM LINE....your hypocrisy and inconsistency stinks to high heaven! You get all over me for apparently dismissing people like Zinn for being socialists (how many times have I heard you ask something to the effect of 'do socialists not have reasonable things to say?' or 'should we ignore people just because they're socialists'?) and yet YOU will dismiss people (without engaging their specific points) for being (in your words) "right-wing nuts."
