…prove to me that you're not an idiot.

The tactics of the Clinton campaign are so transparent and ridiculous that I simply can't fathom how a non-retarded adult could be taken in by their bullsh*t.

So, I am faced with a dilemma. Do I simply conclude that a large part of the Democratic Party is too stupid to be appealed to on the basis of logic and reason and that the only possible approach is the one being utilized by the Clinton campaign – ie: lowest-common-denominator pandering to the basest human instincts – or is there still a chance that a candidate with integrity might have a chance to be chosen as our national leader?

Over the last few weeks, Clinton spokesperson Howard Wolfson has emerged as the crown-prince of bullsh*t. Any sane person would conclude that this man is not only not worth listening to, but should in fact be locked up for his own well-being as well as that of society. He has uttered so many ridiculous arguments that its hard to know where to start in refuting this half-wit.

A couple weeks ago it was the bogus plagiarism charge, and today it's his likening of Barack Obama to Kenneth Starr. Interestingly, there is a pattern that is starting to emerge in the blather emanating from this idiot's pie-hole.

When attempting to make an issue of Obama's use of words similar to those of his friend Deval Patrick, Wolfson made the following absurd syllogism. He said that, since:

A) Obama's candidacy is based primarily on his speech-making abilities, and

B) Obama had borrowed a couple of words from someone else, therefore

C) The premise of Obama's candidacy had been called into question.

Anyone with a junior-high-school education should be able to spot the glaring logical flaw in this argument.

Setting aside the fallacious nature of the piece (ad hominem, appeal to ridicule, biased sample – I only go here because it seemed you intended to take a so called ‘logical’ approach to deconstruct Hillary’s arguments – another common mistake is assigning a truth value to a premise to determine validity; the nature of a premise in determining a conclusions validity has absolutely NOTHING to do with its truth content, at least in terms of predicate logic) I think you are being WAY TOO GENEROUS regarding the mental makeup of the democrats (you use the word ‘retarded’, I won’t). Only half?

Politics aside, I have to say you choose the most beautiful pictures of Hillary! As someone who is very unphotogenic myself, I would never run for president!
