Um... what?

Are we supposed to write down all the fallacies she named and match them up to the proper examples ourselves? 'Cause what she said didn't make any fucking sense.

She named the correct fallacy once. George Bush did, indeed, make a fallacious appeal to authority. (Though this may up to interpretation, as Americans should, in an ideal world, be able to trust the President.)

In some of the examples, the fallacy she named either had nothing to do with the example, or named a lesser fallacy that was involved while ignoring more important fallacies.

Some of the examples weren't even fallacious. Merely stating incorrect facts is NOT fallacious. It's just (one hopes) a mistake.

Moving this video to Constitutional_Patriot's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
