Grace, ma dear, that's the ultimate of ad hominem arguments...reject the message based on your opinion of who or what is giving it, rather than discuss the message on its own merits.
What is your actual opinion of the editorial ? I'm interested, because I know you have been a staunch supporter of the opposing view in the past, and I would expect you to have a much more organized argument against it.
FWIW, considering it's the ONLY Cleveland newspaper, AND it's still around in a city that has been controlled by the Democratic party machine for decades, I would tend to disagree with your assessment of the Plain Dealer. Besides, I generally completely disagree with their editorials which usually consist of a lot of liberal hand-wringing. So that's my assessment.
