The reason those fallacies work is because of the unspoken doctrine of overwhelming numbers. Antagonists persist with these fallacies until opponents are worn out from combating them. I knew there was an explanation for the huge disparity in the reported numbers of teabaggers- birthers-deathers-racists in DC for the demonstration. I thought the rightie-racists were simply lying but I see you looked up all the necessary logical terms to explain their bull****. Harry, you seem to be wrong about quite a few things. One of those things that you can add to your list is that I "looked up all the necessary logical terms." And another one that I haven't looked up and appears to be the fallacy of choice with you (and others) is the ignoratio elenchi. If you have any intellectual curiosity on this matter you may do a search of the term in conjunction with Aristotle's name. Ahh, but I know the terms...I don't have to look them up. I'm a liberal arts grad, after all. Wonderful! Perhaps you can help me, Harry, in determining the correctness of this syllogism: Harry is a liberal arts grad. Harry doesn't have to look up definitions of particular informal fallacies. All Liberal Arts grads diligently study "logic." -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
