Talk:Discrediting tactic

Nice page, Ed. It gets the point across. I've tweaked it a bit for NPOV.

BTW, you did mean CERN rather than Cerf, didn't you? If not, please change it back. Stormwriter

No, I meant Vint Cerf -- the "Father of the Internet". Read the Wikipedia's Al Gore article. I picked the Gore-Internet thing because (A) I really appreciate the Internet, so I feel grateful to anyone who helped it along; and (B) because much as I despise Gore's politics I feel it's even more important not to tell lies about someone. The Golden Rule, okay? --Ed Poor

Yes, Ed, thanks again for making a little peace with a pretty good article.

In fairness it would be good to give an example from the Republican side.

As I said elsewhere, it would make sense to put the article under discrediting tactics in politics or perhaps some other title. Political rhetoric is of course a big and even academically studied topic, so it would be best if we could find an established name. Care to do a little research...? --Larry Sanger
