Test the logic of statements made by homophobic organizations against these criteria.
Common fallacies of logic and rhetoric:
Ad homonym - attacking the arguer and not the argument. (I SEE THIS HERE ALLOT. :)
Argument from "authority".
Argument from adverse consequences (putting pressure on the decision maker by pointing out dire consequences of an "unfavorable" decision).
Appeal to ignorance (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence).
Special pleading (typically referring to god's will).
Begging the question (assuming an answer in the way the question is phrased).
Observational selection (counting the hits and forgetting the misses).

Alan Cranston (D-CA)

He was reprimanded by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics for "improper conduct" on November 20, 1991 after he accepted $1 million in campaign contributions from the Lincoln Savings head, Charles Keating. Keating had wanted federal regulators to stop "hounding" his savings and loan association. The committee deemed Cranston's misconduct the worst among the Keating Five.

The other day I posted my concerns regarding how the audience will be chosen tonight. I'm especially concerned since Gallup, a GOP biased polling company is in charge of the audience selection.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT ASSURANCES ARE BEING MADE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AUDIENCE IS 50/50 AND NOT A SET UP LIKE THOSE TOWN HALLS THAT THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN TRIED TO SET UP IN JUNE?
I am concerned.

In a previous post I provided a link to Pinocchio Politics. Even if you don't order a nose, it still is a great site to find the latest news about the latest lies, and God knows, it's not that easy to keep up with them all. Remember, if you get a smear email, it is your duty as a citizen to respond with the truth. If you can't reply to the sender, then write a rebuttal and send it on to your friends warning them about the piece of trash going around. [BUT DON'T SEND THE ORIGINAL. That just clogs up the bandwidth, and gives the liars press that they don't deserve.]

Here is a picture of a Pinocchio Posse in action. This is a group of New Yorkers outside the United Nations the day that the Republican nominee for VP was there meeting several foreign dignitaries. (She took time off from her Foreign Policy World tour at Epcot Center in Florida to meet them a few of these foreign dignitaries such as one of the Queen's favorites [not] Alvaro Uribe.)
QUEEN’S COMMENTS ON DeConcini’s Remarks
DeConcini, who himself was one of the Keating Five, reported to Evan Brown of PolitickerAZ.com that Keating Five is “fair game” as an issue in the presidential contest.
The big issue according to DeConcini is that McCain should not have been at that meeting with the regulators that first time because he had a conflict of interest. McCain had taken three trips with his family that had been paid for by Keating AND McCain didn’t report that his wife has $350,00 invested with Keating.
SOURCE: http://politickeraz.com/evanbrown/2437/deconcini-says-keating-five-fair-game
Keeping in mind that DeConcini (a Democrat) is a man who has his own axe to grind. . . after checking out the facts in the WIKI on the Keating Five, the Queen is inclined to agree with DeConcini. The WIKI source certainly seems to substantiate all of DeConcini’s accusations and more:
DeConcini is correct. McCain was the only one of the five who had close social and personal ties to Keating. In addition, McCain’s wife and her father had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating’s expense, sometimes aboard Keating’s jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating’s opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln. In 1989 Phoenix New Times writer Tom Fitzpatrick opined that McCain was the “most reprehensible” of the five senators.
Here is the link to that 1989 story if you are interested. The Queen found it quite interesting and well-written, not to mention funny and entertaining as well.

QUEEN’S BLESSING: “bless their hearts” they keep trying, “gosh darn it!”
KEEP THIS REPONSE IN CASE YOU HAVE REPUBLICAN FRIENDS WHO SEND YOU CLAPTRAP EMAILS ABOUT OBAMA AND FRANK RAINES--THEIR LASTEST DESPERATE ATTEMPT.
I just got an email from a friend expaining how the current financial meltdown is entirely the fault of the Democrats and Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae and Barack Obama “whose chief financial advisor is Franklin Raines. . .” [Franklin Raines not only is not Obama’s chief financial advisor, he has never been a member of Obama’s campaign staff. Barack estimates that he and Raines have talked for maybe five minutes in their lives, and Frank Raines himself even released a statement saying that he is not an advisor to Barack Obama “nor have I provided his campaign with advice on housing or economic mattters. The non-partisan fact-check website Snopes.com looked into these smears and the conclusions about Barack and the Fannie Mae executives should not be surprising: “None of them has (or apparently ever had) ongoing roles with the campaign as chief economic advisors.”
Republicans wish. However this is 2008, not 2000 or even 2004. That was then and this is now. Democrats are slinging the Republicans filthy mud right back at them before it even barely touches the wall. You can tell how desperate the Republicans are by how often they change the pile of crap they are throwing. Ayers only lasted about 24 hours. Then they figured out THAT wad ended up in a dead-end alley, now they have turned to the topic of Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae and Frank Raines.
Read More »In the last few weeks John McCain and Sarah Palin have launched a barrage of negative attacks that many in the media flagged as gross distortions or outright lies.
"Pinocchio Posses" are showing up at McCain-Palin events, leading "Lie-Ins," wearing pinocchio noses, and reciting the litany of McCain-Palin lies. Start your own now.
This site has become a meetup and organizing hub for people interested in responding to McCain's lies.
The "Pinocchio Politics" label is dogging the McCain campaign, developing as an internet phenomena akin to the "Flip-Flopper" tag for John Kerry in 2004. This time the label fits. Let's make it stick.
PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR THE FREDDY KROGER LOOK-ALIKE!
In these most uncertain times, we don’t need an erratic, war mongering, ill-tempered gambler, with a long history of womanizing, a health history of Stage III melanoma, and who is already showing advanced warning signs of senility in the White House.
Nor do we need a woman that we know little about, and whom most of us, including her running mate, only met five weeks ago. What little we have been able to learn about this one who would be second in command is quite disturbing: She approves of an extreme right-wing political group that was founded by a man who hates America and she was blessed by an African minister who drives “witches” [ie. women and small children] out of their villages.
