Reply #9: Dave, you are indeed Dangerous. [View All]

There's so many logical fallacies and bits of misinformation in your diatribe that I have to wonder about you.

'The guy got rich as a trial attorney.' You say that like it's a bad thing, like helping individuals seek satisfaction from negligent or criminal corporations is automatically wrong. Very revealing statement, Dangerous Dave. You apparently like large concentrations of wealth and power, and think that anything that affects their margin is evil. Hmm. That would make you a...

'He had a failed VP bid.' Dude, where's my missing eight million electronic votes?

'And he has zero history of having any understanding of any substantive issue that affects our world.' Wow. Considering what I know of and what I've seen of Edward's grip on 'substantive issues', on history, on the rights of human beings, and on any number of other issues on which Edwards has shown a profound and brave grasp of, I have to wonder about your understanding. Again, very revealing. What substantive issues does Edwards not address, IYHO? Hm.


'What makes you think he can communicate to people on both sides of the aisle?' Perhaps the fact-based reality thing? No, you're right. I do not think that Edwards can speak to the Republican side of the aisle; nor would I want him to, since they're mostly anti-American criminal conspiracists. In fact, I'm glad he doesn't speak to them. Fuck them. They all belong in prison. I'd hate it if Edwards appealed to fascistic anti-US nutjobs.

'His one mantra (two americas) is a complete joke when you realize how he himself has chosen to live.' This is a textbook example of a listed logical fallacy called 'Ad Hominem Tu Quoque' -- educate yourself:

Indeed, I could commit this fallacy by suggesting that your arguments are invalid because you have declared yourself a 'Danger'.

Dude, you so sound freeperish. Edwards is the most progressive, honorable candidate in the field with the exception of Kucinich; you're embarassing yourself with this dull diatribe. Where are you getting this Koolaid?

Don't tell me. Don't want to know.
