Ad hominem attack. Nice one.

It's a far-right lobby group.

It seems they agree with Trump on practically everything. So yes.

But do you disagree with their conclusions? What about Larry Sanger?

You can't reason with fascists so the 'but they say things I agree with sometimes' is irrelevant. Either you keep pushing them out of public spaces and undermine their ability to organise regardless of whether they manage to say something innocuous or dress nicely for once, or you're at best lacking in knowledge about how the movement functions but more likely a sympathiser.

Sanger has been voicing politically motivated antipathy towards Wikipedia for a quarter of a century or so, and worked for competing projects for most of that time. This includes supporting far-right nasties like The Heritage Foundation.

They don't deserve a single iota of respect, are a total joke & nightmare for the world, feeding lies and disinformation to the world. Would be plutocrats Koch Brothers, Harlan Crow, Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society, Chris twitter-poster-shit-show-freaking Rufo?! A whose who of extreme conservatives eager to get us back to the 1850's. Here's some sites from about covering them, in gentle neutral terms, but Manhanttan Institute absolutely deserve more serious lambasting & being laughed out of any polite company. Ad hominem maybe, but absolutely people working in opposition to a better world, trying to drag us into a corporate controlled hell world, and deserving of no regards.

They are the counter-balance to far left people like George Soros and his numerous foundations.

"far left" "George Soros" Are you a bot? Or are you just trying to start internet arguments to inflate your own ego?

as an attorney, the lowest form of scum on earth is someone pulling out so-called logical fallacies and thinking that is an argument.

perhaps i thought your clearly biased "institute" didn't deserve any more feedback than that
