You don't have to focus on your opponent dear. I think it might be permanently ingrained in the genes of leftists that they are incapable of making an argument without attacking or going ad hominem on their opponent.
I didn't say I had posted anything on this thread re Obama's Marxism did I. I don't think you can find a post that suggests that I did. I expressed that as my opinion that I have supported elsewhere (and still can but this isn't the thread for it.) It was one of my reasons for choosing Bachmann over Obama if it should come down to a choice between those two. That is the topic of the thread. I chose to focus on the topic of the thread.
How did I attack your character? Please include the complete post in context. If I did I will acknowledge it because I try not to do that unless somebody is lieing about or mischaracterizing what I say or attacking me personally.
And yeah, it's the old debate coach in me. When you can't rebut what I say with anything other than an ad hominem attack, you lose. That's just the way I see it.
I like this part:

So while complaining about how "leftists" are incapable of making an argument without attacking their opponent, you go ahead and paint a broad brush by accusing all "leftists" of having the same exact mindset.
The hypocrisy is startling.
As for attacking me, you attacked my integrity here:
Just once I wish you had the integrity to represent an argument I made honestly, fairly, and accurately. I accept that you probably aren't capable of doing that, but I wish it anyway.
That's personally attacking me.
You refuse to provide any evidence for your points, all the while ignoring all the evidence I give that support my arguments. You have yet to refute one argument I've made.
The only thing you've shown in this thread is you seem to think Obama is some Marxist-Capitalist hybrid that wishes to destroy the rich in order to strengthen the poor while helping rich corporations keep down the working class and poor small businesses.
Furthermore, you have offered absolutely no evidence that making the Bush Tax Cuts permanent or that more massive deregulation would help the economy. In fact, in your call for massive deregulation, you couldn't even name one thing you'd want to see deregulated. On the other hand, I have provided evidence that shows you exactly what happens when you get the massive deregulation you want.
