Yes but if you cannot refute the facts and issues raised by the alleged smear campaign you have not refuted the message.

All you have shown is the messenger has motives other than altruism- but that does not refute the message.

No. A smear compaign does not use facts. It is based on rhetoric. You can't refute rhetoric with facts. Because there are no facts to refute.

Now you are denying the facts.
The facts are very clearly stated and are not rhetoric.
Sad to see the state of thinking in the US come to this.
