InSight(SOROS FRONT),personal attacks and the question of intellectual integrity and truth http://www.quotha.net/node/1847

"Thom"—who doesn't see fit to use his real identity—has commented that:Frankly, I think this reveals sloppy reading and uncritical partisanship on your part. Because of your desire to rail against the liberal non-profit industrial complex, you have presented a straw man characterization of InSight's reporting. Such behavior is extremely unprofessional, and completely unbefitting of an academic. I suggest you check your personal agenda more in the future, as it could significantly impair the credibility of your activism.

Sadly, this kind of personal attack is the inevitable effect of going up against too much money, too much power, and an agenda that promotes reporting that emphasizes a false media "balance" over accuracy. At least Al Giordano had the integrity to use his name when making the claims that I was bipolar not actually a university professor in response to my questioning of the motives of the ICNC. "Thom's" comment entails a serious attack on my academic integrity, and follows up from the likewise anonymous "mike",

whose personal attack on me in response to my critique of a dangerous article (one of many coming out from the source) bears a striking resemblance to that of the Open Society Institute's David Holliday's in defense of Freedom House last November (I don't really think it's him, but maybe it just runs in the Soros family). "mike" posted his angry attack from the same IP address I use, 147.9.68.183, which is American University's IP address, which is—of course—where InSight is based. Coincidence? Who's to say.
