Reply #29: Pathetic Evasion [View All]

Why are you here?

Ad Hominem's don't work? Then why is Fox News the number 1 cable news channel? Why are liberals branded as weak and pathetic and lot's of people buy it? The sad truth is, from a marketing stand point, ad hominem sound bites work for a lot of people. You're being naive and ignorant if you think otherwise. Reason and logical discourse are above many people's heads otherwise more people would be liberal democrats, because logic and reason lead to liberal democratic positions on just about every issue that matters. It's only through demagoguery and ad hominem attacks that the rightwing was able to gain any kind of foothold whatsoever. Get real.

Personally, I don't subscribe to ad hominem attacks, but to claim they don't work in branding through propoganda is naive.
