All I was trying say is that while is full of shit, he's a very convincing bullshitter. He was a lawyer, donchaknow?

I agree its a lot of shit, and that he's a grade-A bullshitter.
... I just wish we could ignore who's saying stuff and concentrate on what they say.
This is the problem with democracy.
An argument is objectively invalid but we have to take it into consideration because 50 million fuckwits will ponder it seriously because it came from someone who their grandma likes.
Or an argument is objectively well considered and but will be completely ignored because it came from that fuckface who once did a fucking thing they hate.

I don't believe that a dichotomy can truly exist between a message and its messenger because I don't believe that humans are capable of of any true level of objectivity. Ergo, it is not just the content that matters, form is important too.
