Geof, are you asserting that Carol's advocacy is anti-semetic? I know Carol and she is NOT anti-semetic!

If you want crediblilty and to stay on-topic in this forum, clarify your statements and elucidate actual arguments that support your ON-topic assertions in THIS forum. Btw, this is the 2nd time in as many days that I've had to remind you about posting policy; so hit PAUSE b4 SEND -Terry Liberty Parker Owner/moderator, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian --- In [email protected], "Geof Gibson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], Carol Moore in DC <news@> wrote: > > > > Mr. Gibson's ad hominen attack is JUST the kind of thing this > Harvard study was written to combat.
