Making the most of fallacies

Cafe Hayek turns ad hominem back on the opponents of free trade. Neatly done. And then fails to resit the temptation to turn tu quoque round on the US Government. Why resist? [Hat tip Stephen Hicks]

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
