Stupid

[redivider]

The entire point of the OP's post was to attack Republicans on this board. You are only defending him because you are a stark, raving mad liberal. That's right! I said it! Contradict what? If the OP was actually saying anything of value then I could maybe see your point but you are so cuagh up in this tennis match between left and right that you forgot that this thread has NO SUBSTANCE!

i wasn't talking to you.

nor was I defending anybody.

i was pointing out a logical fallacy. read the post.

try again...

and attacking me with that cleverly worded post doesn't make you right, or me wrong, or anything like that....

so IF this thread lacks substance, it's because posts like the one I am quoting.

Get off your high horse, Mister.

Every negative characteristic you ascribe to the Right is equally attributed to the many on the Left. Simply replace mindless accusations of Socialism/Communism with Fascism.

The Left also has its share of wealthy foreigners injecting themselves into American political dialogue.

Adrianna Huffington (Huffington Post) and George Soros (MoveOn.org).

You forgot to mention the mutli billionaire, Rupert Murdoch, owner of FAUX NEWS...

And I've NEVER heard of republicans referred to as fascist. I don't need to be on a high horse to see what Republicans do. They spread fear and smear their opponents, while forgetting their party put our economy in this mess to begin with. They claim Obama's health care has death squads and will ration out care to the elderly. They claim the elderly will die earlier now because some one in the government will decide their fate. These are all lies, but widely used by Republicans and the tea party.

the entire political BS is about scare tactics to get the sheeple to fear the other side when both sides don't care about the people anyway. Their worried about their money.

read a dictionary

An ad hominem, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise.[1] The ad hominem is a classic logical fallacy.[2] The argumentum ad hominem is not always fallacious, for in some instances questions of personal conduct, character, motives, etc., are legitimate and relevant to the issue

[Keenly2]

Gratuitous verbal abuse or "name-calling" itself is not an argumentum ad hominem or a logical fallacy.[5][6][7][8][9] The fallacy only occurs if personal attacks are employed instead of an argument to devalue an argument by attacking the speaker, not personal insults in the middle of an otherwise sound argument or insults that stand alone. "X's argument is invalid because X's analogy is false, there are differences between a republic and a democracy. But then again, X is idiotically ignorant." is gratuitously abusive but is not a fallacy because X's argument is actually addressed directly in the opening statement. "X is idiotically ignorant" is not a fallacy of itself. It is an argument that X doesn't know the difference between a republic and a democracy.
This is not to be confused with a true fallacy, which would be "X is idiotically ignorant [of politics], so why should we listen to him now?" If Y attacks X by only calling X to be "just an ignorant twit", though insulting and abusive, it is not a fallacy because it is not an argument. When an insult appears alone, it cannot be a logical fallacy.[10]

try again, it's "ad hominem"

oh wait i did it for you AGAIN

Ad hominem abusive usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to invalidate their argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but ostensible character flaws or actions which are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and even true negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions

Keenly, you always have a way of explaining things so that I understand them. Thank you brother.

sorry man but since he did not use an insult in place of an argument, and only to insult you, its not considered ad hominem

america would kick canadas ass. but republicans and democrats are all pieces of shit. our politicians were supposed to be made of regular citizens who do their best to serve the needs of the people. there was never supposed to be a rich ass "career politician" who served the interests of corporations and other countries, abuses tax dollars, and all the other bullshit they all do. our economy is fucked and we give other countries billions of dollars every year. republican and democrat politicians are all liars, hypocrites, and they think they are above the law. fuck them all if they would stop acting like children they might be able to improve their own country a little bit. i am ashamed to have such retards running my country

Yeah, what he said! rep+
