Birthers versus Ruskers - Which is More Stupid Than the Other

[rod]

Sounds like a healthy marriage. 3 votes might be an indication there's trouble at Rod Manor.

No trouble here--we just go about our separate ways. 47 years of marriage you know.

Like you're sitting at a bus stop like Forrest, Forrest Gump?

Want a chocolate?

Same here! 46 years of marriage.
We go out to eat together about 5 times a week and NA 3 times a week and that's about it on togetherness.
She is still my best friend.

Personally, I can't decide which is more stupid for believing all the silly stuff.
However, I did come up with mascots for the Ruskers and the Birthers.

"Tu Quoque Fallacy
The “tu quoque,” Latin for “you too,” is also called the “appeal to hypocrisy” because it distracts from the argument by pointing out hypocrisy in the opponent. This tactic doesn’t solve the problem, or prove one’s point, because even hypocrites can tell the truth. Focusing on the other person’s hypocrisy is a diversionary tactic. In this way, the tu quoque typically deflects criticism away from one’s self by accusing the other person of the same problem or something comparable."


Is this the right type of fallacy?

More likely it was Opey since he has orange hair!

 

[Box Ox]

More likely it was Opey since he has orange hair!

Opey was too smart and bankruptcy-free to be recruited by the Russians.

Being the true Americans were are my wife voted just the opposite of me so in other words we cancelled each others vote out.

Used to be that way in my household. DT came along and she saw the light.

Opey was too smart and bankruptcy-free to be recruited by the Russians.

But Opey, just like the Ruskers, is easily fooled and easily led astray.

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

Not a Repug or a Dim

Yes you are.

both were just total ing idiots.

I agree.

OK ... I did some research on this and as often happens with me, I found the answer in a song.
So I started at the beginning and found this aural replacement algorithm:
Tu Quoque roughly intersects in the replacement algorithm to be Cuckoo Cocoon.

And he said Pa instead of Da.
