- aptwebapps 14y ago"And an aspersion isn't an ad hominem." And a tortilla isn't a burrito. But if you put your Mexican fillings of choice in it and wrap it up it is. An aspersion is in the eye of the beholder, of course. The poster says, don't trust them - they're capitalist. He then qualifies that by saying, well everyone has biases or agendas anyway. To me that doesn't really change the first part.
