It is generally a bad idea for a major leader to respond to a rant
like this.  Such a response just lends more importance to the rant.

However, it can't hurt for other people to try to write responses.
If you want to do that, here are a few tips:

* Don't organize the response as a series of quotations and comments.
Instead, write a single unified article.  Quote from the other article
only when it serves your purpose.

* Don't try to argue with every little point.  Pick two or three
important points and write about them.

* Attack the position stated in the article, not the writer.
