How is that excellent? Isn't "are you going to stop beating your wife?" the canonical example of dirty rhetoric? That sort of crap is the refuge of those whose position would be untenable in a straightforward discussion.

Yes, it is. A loaded question is a loaded question, a logical fallacy is a logical fallacy, and dirty rhetoric is dirty rhetoric, regardless of the facts.

An experiment with no controls is a lousy experiment regardless of whether the conclusions are correct, and a mathematical proof which divides by zero is a bad proof, even if the theorem happens to be true.

That's not satire. Satire would be pretending to be HUD and announcing that they're going to demolish all housing belonging to people below the poverty line.

Nope. A's word against B's.

But getting some independent scrutiny on what seems to be a dispute that's important to a good number of people can't be a bad thing, right?

Pushing for an outcome of "stop this from happening" is not the same as desiring that outcome unconditionally.

I was wondering about that--the CNN article doesn't mention anything about whether there's mold in the housing units some other reason they might be uninhabitable.
