And now it’s time for the all-time favourite LBO game! Spot the Ad Hominem! (consolation prizes for other logical fallacies)

Nov 1 through Nov 3:

“curious nobody mentioned Israel” “why don’t you?” “didn’t you read Mearsheimer/Walt?” “M/W = Zionists made Bush do it” “Golly” “crafty Jews” “freak snowstorms don’t refute global warming” “goyim” “Alan Dershowitz” “I thought W/M laid it all out?" “bunch of bumbling softies” “poor reading skills” … ceteris paribus … … inter alia … … lorem ipsum … … yo mama … …

Nov 4:

“fuck you, asshole” <===== WOAH! AD HOMINEM!!
