Great thread.

Ad hominem is the fallacy I see most, followed by the Straw Man, Begging the Question, the False Dilemma, and the Appeal to Authority.

You got that right Saber. Here are just a few examples from this thread, Bush says he won't legalize immigrants

"Congress took a page right out of Al Capones book. . ."

"Bush speaks with forked tongue."

"Bush is fast becoming a bigger joke than Clintoon."

"It would seem to me a bad idea to have criminals (ilegal immigrants) handling and preparing our food."

"Bush wants open borders."

"We are going to be flooded by millions of Illegals."

"Illegals are burglars, would you let a criminal to serve you food?"

"You're a typical Bush-bot. You know you can't defend the indefensible, so you resort to mindless name-calling and personal attacks... No wonder it's so easy for a pandering politician, like Bush, to make a sucker out of fools, like you."

"Bush is a traitor, he sold us out." (even though Bush hasn't done anything on this issue yet)

"Bush is a 'Judas goat'."

"The POLLS say 80 (or 90%) of the people don't want this."

"And when your doctor is giving you a prostate exam and you suddenly notice that both his hands are on your shoulders, then that's bound to be his finger in your butt because he says so, right?"

"I'm taking a chance replying to you because you appear to be an imbecile."
