("Right Wing Profesor is a toad. All toads are small. Therefore, Right Wing Professor is small" is a logical statement) but entirely erroneous based on the assumptions. I have a better one for you:
DaveLoneRanger is an idiot. Liberals are idiots. Therefore, DaveLoneRanger is a liberal.
is a logical statement
No, Dave, it is not a "logical statement". It is a logical fallacy. If you had more than an 8th grade education you would understand that.
However, like most ID / creationists, you have to accuse us of being athiests because you cannot compete, even marginally, on an intellectual or educational basis.
We can debate the evolution / creationism issue. Some people can even do it intelligently. But here is something that is an incontrovertible fact. DaveLoneRanger is not the equal of RightWingProfessor by any measure: mental, moral, or physical.

You're much too kind, but alas, I doubt I could have been a marine.

("Right Wing Profesor is a toad. All toads are small. Therefore, Right Wing Professor is small" is a logical statement) but entirely erroneous based on the assumptions.
It is a logical form. But this is an argument, not a statement. The conclusion is false, based on false premises, with a valid form (A-B, B-C, A-C).
Fairly easy stuff.
