Protesting the Protesters

Evan Coyne Maloney is the man... He uses the Socratic method to show just how shallow these anti-war protestors are in their knowledge.

Um, dude. You deleted my post and went into some weird intellectual peacock display. What's up.

Sorry, I forgot to approve it... this is my only video that I have to do that with. I typically do not erase comments here or at my blog.

If any of these fucking morons had half a brain, they'd have turned his Socratic method right back at him. "How would you handle Iraq?" Simple, DON'T!!! Who gives a shit about that lump of crap in the middle of the fucking desert. They were no significant threat to us, so why the hell should we waste our time with them?

I just love the "deer in the headlights" look they got when actually asked what they would do. What a bunch of idiots.

Example of Ad Hominem 1. Bill: "I believe that abortion is morally wrong." Dave: "Of course you would say that, you're a priest." Bill: "What about the arguments I gave to support my position?" Dave: "Those don't count. Like I said, you're a priest, so you have to say that abortion is wrong. Further, you are just a lackey to the Pope, so I can't believe what you say."

... 1. Person A makes claim X. 2. Person B makes an attack on person A. 3. Therefore A's claim is false.

The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).

[SeanG200]

...Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). ...

[SeanG200]

Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. ....

Your loudmouthed idiocy is bought with the blood of the brave men who bleed so you can sit your fat ass in front a computer and attack those who protect you. A thousand people with rectal craniitus isn't a force, they are a silly looking joke.

What has been learned in the interim? Curious.

[ligonlaw]

Evan Coyne is so obviously biased in favor of the Bush Administration, one wonders if he is embarrassed about this film now that so much has been learned in the interim. Furthermore, one wonders why his enthusiasm for the war did not extend to his fighting for his country.

I haven't seen yet how this was was an illegal war? And war has stopped communism, fascism, slavery, and the like. You may be right that war isn't the answer in this case, but war is a necessary response to evil. Join the conversation:
