It's a standard trolling tactic where you attack the messenger instead of the message
"You support the tea party and therefore you are wrong." Would be an ad hominem.
"You support the tea party and quite frankly that's silly." Is not.
So to answer Bob's question, yeah he's pretty much a raging beta male and has acted that way on this site for years. You should have seen him back when MBH was still active, the trolling is practically copy-pasted from a facsimile.
Projection much? Why do you even bother bringing up me posting on MBH? That was like, 7 years ago.
