The Obama crowd's jumping on this flap like a starving dog on roadkill is quite a spectacle.
Do you ever have anything but straw men? Your inability to come up with anything but logical fallacies is the spectacle.
This is a perfectly valid point that only you seem to be having trouble getting. A logical fallacy it is not.
Depends on which of Finn's two points you're talking about. "The Obama crowd's jumping on this flap like a starving dog on roadkill" could be argued is a straw man. I mean, just look at this forum alone. The "Obama crowd" has been pretty nuanced about it. Both Soz and Snood, for example, came back on their initial reaction, and others never saw the outrage in the first place.
I've seen plenty of rather over the top reactions in reader comments on news stories etc, but there's also been enough Obama sympathisers urging against jumping into outrage.
