That sentence was such a bizarre non sequitur that I am not sure what you're trying to be wrong about.
Those without an argument fall back on a Godwin no matter how far the stretch.

Re: Perry - Intellectual Heavyweight?
there are also survivors who say the Feds started the fire. you found a lying fed organization and one survivor to corroborate your side, big deal.
And predictable you provide no evidence to back up your allegation. Provide the evidence and source and someone might want to give your argument some credence.

Godwin's Law
It’s obvious you have no clue what Goodwin is.
Really?
quote:
Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990[2] that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (100%)."[3][2] In other words, Godwin put forth the hyperbolic observation that, given enough time, in any online discussionregardless of topic or scopesomeone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.
BTW that is Godwin not Goodwin.

Please, please explain
What does you non-sequitur to Jews and the holocaust have to do with the discussion? Other than to inflame the conversation.
One can speak of Jews and the Holocaust and have no comparison of the Nazis or Hitler, just as I did.
You do realize who perpetrated the holocaust against the Jews don't you? As the the holocaust is not at all relevant to this thread you have committed a Godwin.

Ah, the original Ad hominem is back. Where were you? Yeah the Waco Massacre. The ATF, FBI, and army at Ft. Hood broke the law, just to attack some eccentric Christians, who were minding their own business. Do you have evidence on the contrary?
So that's a no?
Also, please expalin what the ad hominem is in Jar's question.

Re: Please, please explain
did you notice the word "original"? are you even reading anything here?
Then please explain what and where the original ad hominem was. I seem to have missed it.

One more question
The ATF, FBI, and army at Ft. Hood broke the law, just to attack some eccentric Christians, who were minding their own business.
Do you think that Clinton, Reno and the above were gunning for Christians?
If so, why were they?
Can you list the laws that were broken?

Re: DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE.
Is there any chance you will ever stay on topic?
and what the hell is this supposed to mean
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE
You do know that that is not how the aphorism goes, don't you? Were you trying to be witty?

Bachmann still Bat shit crazy
quote:
I had a mother last night come up to me here in Tampa, Florida, after the debate, Bachmann said. She told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection, and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter.
Fact Check: No evidence to suggest HPV vaccine causes 'mental retardation'
Does she even understand what mental retardation is?

Are you freaking serious?
This is the worst equivocation I think I have ever seen here.
So you are saying only members of the Republican party support a Republic style of government?
You have become a parody of yourself.

Re: Like goldy and bronzey ...
Clearly Artemis is using the Alanis Morrisette brand of 'irony', which as any fule kno is almost wholly antithetical to the classical definition of irony.
I think Arties ID must have been hacked, because he is very much a stickler for the correct use of all terms.

And words are defined by how people use them...
Even if they are blatantly wrong?
When I say blatantly I mean obviously, by which I mean easily seen.
I don't mean a little wrong. If I meant that I would have used a word like barley, or slightly.
