		<description>bq. You all but admit your guilt in this form of shallow thinking while simultaneously displaying it in the same post.

What is it that you claim I "all but admit"?

bq. I would be tempted to call this a new form of logic but sadly admit that the straw man argument or “a priori dismissal” is typical of the left.

The a priori dismissal, while it is a fallacy, is not a form of straw man. If you don't know what you are talking about, you would be wise not to comment.</description>

		<description>Very interesting. You all but admit your guilt in this form of shallow thinking while simultaneously displaying it in the same post.

The term "wingnut extremists" is the most blatant example. One that only an idiot would include in a post cautioning people against.</description>
