But the trick being used here, as I’ve tried to point out, is to conflate arguments against Ms Sheehan’s positions with attacks on her person, then to condemn as attacks on her person those arguments made against her positions. The next move, then, is to follow with an outraged insistence that those who’ve just gotten through engaging Ms Sheehan’s positions engage Ms Sheehan’s positions, in a kind of infinite deferral of the argument intended solely to keep the “argument” itself foregrounded.
Enough already!
