IF YOU CAN TAKE MY BLOG OUT OF CONTEXT !

“The Fallacy of Equivocation” (The use of vague terms, sometimes they start off using language we think we understand and then veer off into a
new meaning ).

“The Fallacy of Card Stacking” (The selective use of evidence-Many advocates are guilty of listing all the points in favor of their
position while ignoring the serious objections against it).

“The Fallacy of the Appeal to Authority” (Reliance on authority to the exclusion of logic and evidence- just because an expert says it).

“The Fallacy of Ad Hominem” (Latin- against the man- an attack against the person rather than the person’s argument).

“The Fallacy of the Straw Man” (The mischaracterization of an opponent’s argument in such a way that is easy to attack and knock down- example:
liberal commentators say that evangelical Christians want to implement
a religious theocracy in America).

“The Fallacy of Sidestepping” (The evasion or dodging of an issue by changing the subject-politicians do this in press conferences when they
do not answer the question a reporter actually asks, but instead answer a
question they wish someone had asked).

“The Fallacy of the Red Hearing” (The use of a tangent to distract an opponent from the issue in question-from the practice of luring hunting
dogs off the trail with a scent of a herring fish).
