It is sophistry. It’s a Straw Man argument. Classic fallacy.

It is indeed, but JasonC has at least provided us with a hilariously comedic and surreal tour de force admixture of all of those along with generous dollops of breathtaking ignorance masquerading as delusional claims of erudition, incoherent gibberish presented as logic, and world-class hubris, all whipped-up into a delightfully frothy confection of self-referential mental masturbation...

Now that's entertainment!

Past his bedtime now.

The argumentum ad Hitlerum comes in different forms. The one targeted at Nixon the writer from Ramparts surely would remember. There is a big difference though between Jonah Goldberg's political analysis in Liberal Fascism or even Glenn Beck's discussion of the nationalization of private industries and the fringe suggestion Obama has plans for immediate UN internment camps. The lack of such plans hardly rules out any comparisons. Besides a fondness for giving speeches to hysterical adoring crowds in Berlin, the statism, and wanting to depopulate the sick, the weak, and genetically feeble with government funds, there must be many differences.

[irony/sarcasm tag for any challenged trolls lacking a sense of humor]

Brilliant! The last 50 posts or so are the most hilarious parody of pointless academic self-gratification I have ever seen. My hat is off to you all!
