Agreed.  If all Muslims were US-hating, violent terrorists, Buffalo and Detroit would be under constant attack, and people would be talking about building a fence along the US's northern border.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

We've been talking about building a fence up there for years.  It's secret squirrel type stuff that we don't want you (Canucks) to know about.

That will work until WalMart and Car Dealerships realize that they are losing all the money they would have made off of Canadians sneaking across the border trying to save a few bucks.

There was a time when Americans went to Canada to save some $$.  Sad.

McCain accuses Obama of planning to attack "our ally", Bush goes ahead and does it.

Obama's quote actually tells me he has some balls, and it was a ballsey thing they did, that apparently worked. Maybe Georgey was just pissed Barry thought of it before him.

I didn't see anything in there about McCain :paranoid

Sorry - it has been bandied about for some time, and McCain and Bush both took shots at Obama.  McCain brought it up again yesterday, in spite of the fact that this operation happened last month.
Quote"There are a lot of national security challenges and I know how to handle them. Senator Obama wants to bomb Pakistan without talking to the Pakistanis. I think that's dangerous," McCain said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." "I think that's an important factor - experience and judgment. Ready to serve and no on the job training."

Obama is a talker and Hillary is a do-er.  Except when it comes to do-ing paperwork critical to her campaign...

QuoteHillary Clinton's presidential campaign failed to file a full slate of convention delegate candidates for Pennsylvania's April 22 primary.

This despite the possibility the primary proves critical and despite Clinton owning the full-throated support of Gov. Rendell, state Democratic Party leadership, Mayor Nutter and, presumably, the organizational skill all that entails.

And despite a Rendell-ordered extension of the filing deadline that could be viewed as more than just coincidental.

Probably won't make a difference - apparently the party rules will give her the delegates anyway, but still...
