A locical fallacy in which the arguementative point is made into a caracature of it's original point. Extremely effective because it's not based on facts, but lies and assumptions. The burden of proof then lies in the defense, not the offense. Especially effective when the defense isn't allowed to offer objection. Popularized by right wing talk radio hosts Rush and Hannity.
Step one: Build the straw man. Ignore facts and make outlandish lies/slander. Redefine the facts. "liberals want to take your guns away and turn the U.S. over to the U.N."
Step 2: Knock down the straw man. "That flies in the face of everything we Americans believe in."
Step 3: Connect step 2 to step 1. "Only a communist would think of something like that."
Step 4: "Negate" your opponant by opposing the conclusion in step 3. "I hate those liberal communists. If they think us right-wingers will sit quietly while they destroy the country the're dead wrong."

Rush and Hannity can't argue the facts, so they have to make up the "evil liberal agenda" and then appear patriotic by opposing it.

Get the sand bagging mug.A member (or sympathizer) of the republican cartel currently occupying the White House. Believe that the U.S. should be a one-party theorocracy. Radical christians, racists, misogynists, and greedy CEO's make up the bulk of the Nazipublican party. Their tactics of supression, intimidation, and fear closely match those of the third reich. They are a unified threat and must be destroyed.
Racism, torture, suppression, oppression, tyrany, an enslaved middle class, perpetual war, loyalty oaths, massive debt, revisionist reality, restricted press, hyper-nationalism and threats against decent Americans. Yup. Looks like the Nazipublicans are in charge.

Get the nazipublican mug.What the noble union members do when corporate bitches go too far. A strike is a muscle that needs to be flexed occasionally, to keep those greedy, money-grubbing freaks in check. Unions/strikes are the ONLY reason we are not all eraning $1/day for work today.
