Name-Calling Is Desperation

"Name-calling has become the last best resort of those who want to shout down, silence, and remove from the field of debate, those with whom they don't agree. It's playground tactics, which by definition smacks of desperation. Peoples whose arguments have completely run out, have evaporated, they fall back on just shouting, shouting down and calling people names. And there are obvious labels that can get thrown around that, if they stick, can be very damaging, and 'far right' is one of them. It's up there with 'racist' and 'misogynist' and all sorts of other insults, accusations, allegations, that you can make about people with whom you don't agree, but whose arguments you have no ammunition to challenge."; - Neil Oliver
