How long until the right-wing media starts comparing Penn State rioters to OWS? |
|
Look for that in 5... 4... 3... 2...

2. Yes, and any minute now... |
|
the right-wing media is going to start making weird amorphous associations about the "atmosphere" or something like that. They'll come up with something. I know how these bastards think.

5. Protesters at UC-Berkeley are students; Rioters at PSU are |
|
students. Therefore, UC-Berkeley = PSU. There's a word for this type of logical fallacy in the construction of the syllogism, but I can't remember it right off-hand.
Any experts out there with training in formal logic want to lend a hand?

7. Wikipedia has a list of logical fallacies. It will be along similar lines. |
|
I think it will be even less specific than that... it'll be kind of like Bush in Fahrenheit 9/11... "Iraq. al Qaeda. Iraq. al Qaeda." "Penn State. OWS. Penn State. OWS."

3. It's already happening in comments sections on news websites |
|
Only a matter of time, like later today, before Faux starts doing the same thing.

8. That one describes the Penn State rioters as even worse than OWS... |
|
if that's not damning with faint praise, I don't know what is. Someone called them out on it in the comments section.
