Hey, Oaf--

     Here's a few more fulminations for you:


>The second group is far more important:  It consists of solid citizens
>in  positions  of influence.  Mr. Black has no hope of convincing them
>with his apparently childish fulminations.  

     I don't understand it--if these "fulminations" are so childish, why 
then are you (and several others) so vitriolic about them?  Why do you
not oppose them with logic rather than with Ad Hominems?  Am I so close
to the truth that you have no other choice?

     Or did I hurt your little feelings by not supporting your favorite
Sand Dune?

     As far as not convincing men of influence, sorry Chief, you're too
late.  The cat's out of the proverbial bag.  Remember what happened to 
Congressman Larry McDonald?  And WHY?

>Rather his  scheme  is  to _alienate_  the  intellectuals,  

     Who gives a flying S___ about intellectuals??  Booklearning is
wasted without common sense.  Pardon the pun, but one might say that
booklearning is akin to Artificial Intelligence.


>and by dint of shrill accusations and nonsensical rhetoric 

     I don't understand.... 

     How is it that us Right-wingers are always shrill and nonsensical???
Is that an inherent trait that we do not share with the Left?

     Or is it maybe that we make TOO MUCH sense?

>convince them of Mao's favorite dictum  [item  27
>out of 402 in the little red book]:  "Whoever is the enemy of my enemy
>is my friend.  Whoever is the friend of my enemy  is  my  enemy."   

     Wrong, Comrade!  The source is King David himself!  

     "Do I not hate them that hate Thee, O Lord, and am I not grieved with those
that rise up against Thee?  I hate them with a perfect hatred:  I count them 
mine enemies."  Psalm 139, I believe.

>If people  get  disgusted  enough  by  his postings (and speeches, if the
>papers report them), they'll  look  more  favorably  at  the  Soviets,
>simply because he "opposes" them so vehemently.

     I don't think so, Oaf.  After all, you're thoroughly disgusted, aren't 
you?  And I'm sure you don't want to see Soviets here, right?  

     Or do you?
