Over at FB, this picture is making the rounds:

My first thought on reading this (once the need for a head/desk moment passed) was a memory of a classic West Wing clip:

Logical fallacies just aren’t cool, no matter which side is relying on them.

Also: where is there a progressive party in this country that actually gives the poor enough resources to buy their votes? Or that the GOP didn’t do just what this meme accuses liberals, through “culture war” issues, tax cuts, and chest-thumping jingoism? But if I get started on that rant we’re going to be here for a while, so I should stop. Just watch the West Wing clip and repeat after me: after does not mean because of. After does not…

OMG, I rarely LOL at work, but this one had me going. I'll have to show this to my DH who is on the fence, but leaning towards Zomrey. I only hope he receives enlightenment before the 6th since he did vote for Obama last time.
