I am pointing out that a lot of unimportant people say a lot of unimportant things. Posting them here does does not make them important.

Being an editor at NPR and a professor at freaking Georgetown isn't an important person? WTF? Georgetown graduates the next generation of people who will staff federal agencies in DC. She's teaching them this ugly bigotry and calling for violence.

So you figure there are ... what do you think ... 300 professors at Georgetown? Maybe twenty thousand in the DC area?

You don't get to be an editor at NPR and a professor at Georgetown without being influential and accepted by elites. Come off it, the whole "she's a nobody" argument ain't gonna work.

She meets more decision makers who affect your life at a single party than you will in your entire existence. And she's teaching hate and violence is acceptable to the next generation of elites.

You have no idea about my life. Do you have any idea about the number an influence of NPR editors?

Sure, they influence millions of people who listen to NPR every day and take what they say as gospel because it's publicly funded. That's pretty much the opposite of a nobody.

You're right. We all know how the elites suck up to Kitty Eisele for her critical support in matters before the public. Many people say she is the hub upon which history itself turns.

"An absurd absolute is a restatement of the other person's reasonable position as an absurd absolute. For example, if your point is there is high crime in Detroit, the absurd absolute would be your debate opponent saying something such as "So, you're saying every person in Detroit is a criminal." When your debate opponent recasts your opinion to include an "absolute" word, such as every, always, never, all, completely, universally, and the like, you are seeing cognitive dissonance.

Some people call what I just described a strawman argument. But a strawman argument refers to any sort of inaccurate recasting of your opponent's argument. That is the generic case. I'm referring to a specific strawman argument that uses an absurd absolute. When your debate opponent recasts your point as an absurd absolute, you won the debate. That's as far as you can go."
