So what is the best way to avoid another catastrophe? Why is the tape constantly "Bush this, Bush that"? Obviously its all about the elections, and he sounds like he is for Kerry...wake up and listen to what he's saying..."Any nation that does not attack us will not be attacked" That is a threat. So, if the choice of security is in OUR hands, which it is in the sense that whom we vote for will depend on the security...Obviously Bush will continue to stay in Iraq. I think he thinks that Kerry would pussy out and pull out if he is threatened so he wants him elected. I can tell you that OBVIOUSLY Bin Laden doesn't want Bush in. So, then what's all this voting stuff he's talking about then...obviously if its in our own hands and we don't want to be attacked again, DON'T VOTE BUSH right? This video is a freakin threat...and one that people like you PVS would give into....
It's funny how some of the democrats are sidding with Bin Laden and saying that we should just negotiate with him...negotiate with freakin Osama Bin Laden...no, sorry, to them I say
"WE DON'T GIVE INTO TERRORIST!"
- Straw man tactics. - Making a caricature out of a position in order to make it easier to attack. This is when people Assume they know someone's point of view, and begin arguing a constructed view about their opponent, rather than just debate the words of their opponent.
e.g. "This video is a freakin threat...and one that people like you PVS would give into...."
- Suppressed evidence, and half-truths. - using lies, half-truths and propaganda, and expecting others to believe it. (basically your entire post...so why bother quoting)
- Excluded middle, or false dichotomy - considering only the extremes of a situation, and not the "centered" view. e.g. "It's funny how some of the democrats are sidding with Bin Laden and saying that we should just negotiate with him...negotiate with freakin Osama Bin Laden...no, sorry, to them I say"
- Ad hominem. Latin for "at the man". This is a debating tactic that attacks the arguer and not the argument. (say no more)
