CapitalistSwine Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Ugh....while this is clearly wrong it was an interesting way of casting criticism, compared to the normal diatribe.

Dante Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Wow. With this method of writing you get to put words in your opponent's mouth, mischaracterize his/her views, and pretend you're just being eccentric by doing so.

Thoughts? Opinions? Criticisms? Rejections? http://www.wnd.com/i...p?pageId=180293 Didn't make it all the way through--I figured out very early on I could have written better responses for the "Ayn Rand" portrayed in this dialog. I started skimming, and could see it got worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A false straw-man dichotomy complete with pictures of an advertisement using the 'Pinocchio noses' as a subtle subliminal warning to those who might notice. Nice synopsis, Dante.

All of it, the increasing rate of lampoons, derision, or vicious attacks (on Objectivism) - indicates that it is being taken seriously by the mainstream in the US, and some intellectuals are getting nervous. I'd advise that you fellows start getting used to the spotlight, because Oism is apparently going to get what it always deserved. Bring it on. dream_weaver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dennis Miller agrees with you... - Ayn Rand at forefront of coming Objectivist movement. Edited September 30, 2010 by freestyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
