Yes, I meant Iraqis. They all look alike to me.

Thank you, Wendy.

Interesting way to twist those words...whatever

What is the warning for? What are you going to do to me for being snarky about my view of the democratic party and their illegal voting blocs?

Unless you want to take that somehow personally- they are not fighting words.

Unless you are wanting to pick a fight for the whole democrat party?

If I understand my fallacies correct (Alex feel free to correct me) the statement that you made was a Straw Man.

The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position.

It could also be construed as an Ad Hominem..

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. 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).

Before the admittedly snarky derail, we were discussing......immigration reform. Today on CNN there is an interesting article regarding the rising political strength of the Hispanic voters, which no doubt makes Republican lawmakers very nervous. Hispanic political power.

I did not attack anyone- my disdain for a certain political party came out. No one need that it personally.

It doesn't have to be an attack on a person, or group of persons. You're making blanket statements without proof to back them up.

What is it called when a person can't prove their side so they resort to attacking the other side? I don't think it's red herring.

Yeah, ok, and when I have time come up with the links- which I don't right now- what is it then? You make assumptions that I am just blowing hot air- heaven forbid there actually be something to it.

Calm down. When you post blanket statements without links or reference to posting links later you leave the post wide open to the thought that you have no intentions of posting links.

Really Neph, you don't seem to be able to have this type of conversation without getting upset and mad. If you're in a bad mood please take it elsewhere. If not, please calm down and post rationally, like our other "righty does. He doesn't attack. He posts his facts from his perspective with the links to back it up.

It is no secret that even though there is a majority of "left wing" posters here almost all of them will respectfully debate the "right wing" view. Respectfully is the key word. You have to give it to get it.

Whatever you do, this is all I am going to say on that matter.
