Yeah I got it now. Basically:

if self.class.respond_to?

will only respond to class methods of the class, not instance methods 
and since attr_accessor returns instance methods, that if will return 
false. So basically what I had to do was:

    elsif self.class.method_defined? :blog_filter_scoper

And that worked above. And then within my categories controller:

  def blog_filter_scoper
    BlogPost.for_posts 1
  end


That will call the blogpost named scope and pass the argument 1 so now 
depending on which controller is invoked, we can pass different 
arguments to for_posts to determine which posts to display.

The only thing I don't like now about this is that I am passing an 
integer 1. I'd rather do something like Category[:news].id - where rails 
will search the categories table with news value and then pull the id of 
that value which could be 1. I think that's better than hardcoding 1 
right there. I guess that's the next thing I need to figure out.

Thanks for all responses.
