We've been hearing the other side's point of view for years in the papers, on commercials, in the news and on talk shows all painting an elderly woman whose genitals were melted off as a parasite trying to take advantage of a large corporation.

This is the first bit of dialogue from the site's video:

    HOST: "What do you think of the movie?"
    FIGLEY: "I saw it as propaganda. Well done propaganda... But, propaganda."
So says the panel of tort reform supporting lawyers and professors.

This is connected to the "U.S. Institute for Legal Reform" which in turn is connected to "U.S. Chamber of Commerce" who are not good people.

Edited to add: The piece makes the point that the film "Hot Coffee" is propaganda. I believe that gives me leeway to do the same here.

True or not, it's still Ad Hominem. Address the argument, not the organization making it.

Yes and no, it's important to know the motivation behind the messages people are saying.

Why the downvote? This is a legitimate argument despite whether you agree with it or not.

The piece makes the point that the file "Hot Coffee" is propaganda. Why don't I get a chance to do the same?
