Listen Later
This is an original episode on Ad Hominem.

Show notes (stuff we mentioned that you might want to follow up, or not, whatever… totally up to you):

  • Reading from the book (Ad Hominem)
    • The master of vitriolic Ad Hominem and Browbeating - Gordon Ramsay - fromKitchen Nightmares (I think...)
      • Reductio Ad Hitlerum and Goodwin’s Law
        • An example of likening a contemporary political leader to Hitler from people who’d been to see a talk by Al Gore organised by moveon.org (no points for guessing the leader of who I speak...) . This is obviously a case of cherry picking, but nonetheless…. Here's the youtube clip I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiOpOGJsLhU. (I also slipped in a bit of Monty Python here (Gumbies)
          • Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the earwax incident (prior to being elected)
            • Blackadder Goes Fourth - Captain Cook
              • The evil brain teaser I mentioned
