To comment on its content without remark to its source one must be a coprologist, examining the content to find out what it had for breakfast.
Fair enough. You've commented on the source, but you forgot to comment on the content.
It's so silly to not be able to dispassionately refute an argument just because you get all bunged up by a source. Shit, I don't trust the DailyKos or the Communist Party USA, but if you asked me to refute their argument without dwelling on their lack of trustworthiness and how they are open sewers, I can certainly do it. Maybe it's the trend these days.
Take it as read that Breitbart is a Nazi page -- making Stormfront look tame -- and that most of what they say is not true. That doesn't refute the specific points made. That's why I asked for content and not dopey, immature commentary about how crappy a source they are.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
