Best example of the Limits of Allowable Debate (LAD) I've seen in some time:
"The Economist is hosting a debate on the proposition: 'This house believes that
Obama’s America is now an honest broker between Israel and the Arabs.' The
online debate includes comments and voting by the readers. Daniel Levy of J-
Street and the New America Foundation is taking the affirmative, and David Frum
of the America Enterprise Institute is taking the negative. "

Phrased that way, it puts me on Frum's side...! But he's "arguing the position that
Obama is an anti-zionist Arab/Iran/Muslim-lover."
There is a tertium quid... --CGE
