Professor Accuses Moonbat Central of Using "Old Leninist Trick"

Aaron Barlow, proprietor of the Barblog, has accused us, in a comment posted below, of employing an "old Leninist trick." He writes, "If… you want to connect MMFA [Media Matters for America] to Soros, show proof. Repeating yourself (the old Leninist trick) doesn't make it true."

Barlow informs us that he is a "professor" of some sort – though without saying where he is employed or what subject he teaches.

Professor Barlow, I confess to some bafflement. Surely it has not escaped your notice that each and every time we make reference to the Soros-Brock connection on this blog, we provide accompanying links – such as this one – which back up our charge.

Have you bothered clicking through any of those links?

Perhaps you have. And perhaps you have found the evidence presented therein unpersuasive. That's fine. If you find our evidence faulty, let's hear your critique of it. But you have not given us a critique. Instead you imply quite falsely that we have presented no evidence at all.

Professor Barlow, I do hope the rhetorical methods you have employed on this Web site do not reflect your behavior in the classroom. When your students present you with evidence which you find tiresome, annoying or inconvenient, I hope you do not simply pretend that they have failed altogether to provide you with any evidence at all – and then grade them accordingly. We take a dim view of such practices around here.
