Ad hominem is *never* correct, John. If Cavuto wanted to criticize the
professor's anti-war views, or defend his own biases, then he could have
done so without resorting to childish name-calling.
As I mentioned in a previous message, if someone on this list were to behave
like Cavuto did last night on FOX then we'd either collectively ban him from
posting, or else many or most of us would individually kill-file his email
address.
FOX News is a circus act.
