Nor is it necessary. Nor was the actual enumeration the point of his post. Using the term "a shitload" instead of numbers illustrates the point just as well. You're chasing "formal debate rules" instead of just facing up to the facts. worstblog wasn't using a logical fallacy, you're using a diversionary tactic.Mister Mets blithers:
It does not seem reasonable to expect others to have an excel spreadsheet summarizing another guy's posts handy.

At this point, perhaps we should just ask the question, "Are you, as a registered Republican embarrassed by the ridiculous, documented behavior of those seeking, or elected to office in your party. If not... how and why is that even still possible when they seem to have a serious problem with being willfully ignorant, racist, homophobic, idiots?"

Harvard paper from 2008 on 'partisan reinforcement and the poor. From the lead in...
Past research has demonstrated that Americans view poverty in racial terms, and that they
often blame the poor for their situation. But can local contexts undermine these common
stereotypes and attitudes? Synthesizing racial and political theories of contextual effects, this
article uses two nationally representative surveys to explore attitudes about who is to blame
for poverty. It uncovers two contextual variables that predict structural attitudes toward
poverty. The first is the percentage of the county’s poor that is white, a finding that theories
of racial threat would lead us to expect. The second finding is stronger: the percentage of
the county that voted Republican in the last presidential election consistently predicts less
structural attitudes. Thus more powerfully than racial dynamics, local processes of partisan
reinforcement play a key role in shaping attitudes toward poverty.

"Race is a social construct, they say. And I remind them that money is a social construct, too. Social constructs have power." — DeRay Mckesson
Ammosexual: A person who fetishizes firearms, is against any and all regulation no matter how reasonable, and believes that their right to own them is more important than the rights of innocent people to live.
Redneck: A person, usually of lower class & education, who holds bigoted views on women/racial/sexual minorities. Is gullible enough to vote for policies they believe will help them, but are designed to keep them down.
Cracker: A white person. The dominant racial group in America, historically responsible for virtually every atrocity committed in the Americas and parts over the world. Has the most representation in government, disproportionately so. Has the most wealth.
All of the above: least likely to face discrimination in the work place, in the market place, or in court. Most likely to survive encounters with law enforcement.
Oh no, won't someone please think of the people with the most power responsible for everything wrong in the country.

Personally, I'm a liberal. But I'm also from Kentucky. I constantly see other liberals saying hurtful, stereotypical and unfair things about Kentucky and the south in general. Americans are pretty bad, but Europeans and people from Australia and New Zealand are incredibly vicious. I'm relatively reluctant to tell people I'm from Kentucky online.
I don't think these stereotypes should be any more acceptable to throw around than any other stereotypes. And I don't think it's an out to talk about power imbalances. Often these people are poor and uneducated.

We were talking aqbout how PC supposedly equal politeness, But I guess it doesn't matter if the insults are hurled ad people that don't toe PC line on what beliefs are acceptable. Post something anti-gun control here and see how polite the responses are. And much of the rudeness will come from those saying the PC equals just being polite
