"It is frightening that the highest executive in our state suffers from the delusion that God dictates his every move," she says. "Consider the personal and historic devastation inflicted by fanatics who think they are acting in the name of their deity."

Okay, class... how many textbook fallacies can you spot in these two sentences? :)

A few counter-examples:

1) “It is frightening that the media of [what was once] the most powerful nation on Earth suffer from the delusion that moral relativism and anti-theism (and hysterical misrepresentation of opponents) is not only normal, but a requirement for good journalism.”

2) “Consider the personal and historic devastation inflicted by anti-theists who think that obliteration of religion is a moral imperative.” (Care to compare body counts, anti-theists?)
