In reply to the discussion: 'How Dare You!' Hayes' Conservative Guest (Jennifer Stefano) Goes Off During Obamacare Fight [View all]90-percent
(6,956 posts)my facebook post cut and paste for du. Nice her guesting methodoolgy is identified and defined. Hopefully this excellent phrase will become a standard term in our political discourse. Oh, look, the three conservative guests on Fox and Friends are Gish Galloping the token progressive again.
For all my anti-Obamacare Facebook friends, could you please at least upgrade the quality of your shills? Your interests are not well served by this woman's abuse of the "Gish Gallop." Is there anything that came out of this woman's mouth that you agree with or has some basis in fact? Please, I'd really like to know. Her performance single handedly increased the public approval rating of the ACA five points by this performance alone! Thank her for me.
From the youtube comments section:
"The Gish Gallop is the debating technique of drowning the opponent in such a torrent of half-truths, lies, and straw-man arguments that the opponent cannot possibly answer every falsehood in real time. Sam Harris describes the technique as "starting 10 fires in 10 minutes."
She has this technique down to a science. There was not a single truthful coherent statement during the whole entire segment."
