| 'Kerry's mental age |
| 2015-11-05 |
| Ran Baratz, the man who has been appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as his top media adviser, once referred to US Secretary of State John Kerry as someone "whose mental age doesn't exceed 12." In a column that he wrote for an online media magazine last year, Baratz offered a scathing critique of Kerry's suggestion that the emergence of Islamic radicalism in the Middle East could be traced to the lingering Israel-Palestine conflict. During remarks at a White House ceremony for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha last year, Kerry implied that the strife resulting from the decades-long dispute between Israel and the Palestinians has harbored an environment prone to fostering extremism. |

| #6 Besides, if Ran pushed any harder, Jawn would be crying because of his hurt feelings. And claiming his 4th or 5th purple heart... |

Jim, Ran was being ad diplomatic as he could by giving Jawn every benefit of the doubt. Besides, if Ran pushed any harder, Jawn would be crying because of his hurt feelings. |

| #3 Ad hominem "red hat" attacks are appropriate on the burg because they are in response to facts. That is, this is how the facts make me feel. Without marshaling facts Ran is going to have a hard time convincing people which is, after all, his job. BTW, is that lucky hat made out of aluminum foil? :-) |
