Fun with Candidates
Ok, I don't care what you think about Rick Perry. What I want to point out is what salvo two and salvo one of a series of hit pieces really look like. Ad hominem: check. Straw man: check. Argument by innuendo: check. Proof by verbosity: check. It's a fun game! See if you can spot any others!
Oh, calm down, will ya? Like I said, this isn't a comment about the (presumed) candidate, rather the crude and ridiculous attempts to smear a (presumed) candidate. I'm sure if you tried hard enough you'd find a few that went after Democratic candidates. I'm equally sure you will have to try, and hard.
Oh, and someone make sure Ron eats once in awhile as he goes a-hunting for more fallacies in the articles.
I could go hunting, but since there's enough folks who believe that the Civil War was solely about defending slavery and nothing else, it's honestly not worth it. That's all they're working on - his connection to that group. The one other article did state that he had religion and was a fiscal conservative, but primarily went to insults as to why he's a bad pick.
Piss poor journalism at its finest. All these two articles told me is that the writers "got nothing".
