November Stundie Finals

[Travis]

I still like this bit from #12: "I have a book that I haven't read that sits in a box with some other ones. It's called the 'Third Reic' and the back leaf says..."

Using a book you haven't read as evidence is just so surreal.

 

[carlitos]

11 for sure, champ.

Number 3.You cannot get any dumber then that.

I voted for #13 Classic twooferism

This is twoofer thinking at its best. First of all, there is the idea that those who debunk conspiracy theories are all working together in some devious plot. Second, there's the idea that displaying consistency and using well-supported arguments is something to be avoided. Finally, there's the classic "we don't have to explain everything in detail" argument. How about explaining ONE thing in detail, twoofer?

Woot, my nomination from last month's poll came in at a respectable fourth place! I ish happy.

Couldn't decide, so I voted for 6, 8, 9, 15, and 19.

 

[carlitos]

I added 3 and 13 to my vote for 11. The 'no slavery in America' boggles the mind. There are freaking photographs. Then again...

ETA - I just noticed that it puts the ones you voted for in italics. Fancy!

Has to be 3. Gullibility in a pint glass.

Has to be 3. Gullibility in a pint glass.

I voted for that too. It's a beautiful example of uncritical non-thinking. It had some competition though -- the lunacy harvest was good this November.

I've never felt outraged enough until now to nominate someone for a stundie, but Galileo posted this,

Sober drivers should be held accountable for their actions. There are many 4-time sober drivers on the road, and all are potential killers. When you get behind the wheel, your turn a 2-ton mass on iron into a loaded gun.

as a clever way of arguing that drunk driving isn't so bad.


Where do I go in the forum to nominate this one for a stundie?

I picked #3 because it seems more original to me.

I need to go back and nominate the one about how debunkers would explain the WTC7 collapse if there was no damage to it, one.

I don't find it particularly clever, which is a good thing as far as stundies are concerned.

It seems one bamboozled white boy is leading the charge.

One of my favorite quotes: "Not only is he in the lead, he appears to have a clear plurality of votes."

 

[IMST]

Nearly the end of the month, so I thought I'd bump this in case anyone missed it. Not that it's likely to change anything the way the voting's gone this month.
