What do you think "intellectual dishonesty" is?
I've always thought of it as a situation where one begins an argument with certain presuppositions, as we all do, but towards the end, attacks a presupposition made by their opponent that they themselves support.
If that makes any sense. Maybe that's more of a "hypocrisy" thing?
Is Colmes one of the Hannity and Colmes guys? I can't remember which of those guys is the asshole and which is the idiot.
