In the upcoming week, we will discuss the ways in which political pundits use the mass media to debate the various policy issues of their respective political parties. In preparation for this week's blog post, I ask that you read the "Fallacies" chapter in our course packet, then watch the Ann Coulter clips available via our course calendar.

For the actual post, I want you to reflect on Ann Coulter's style of argument. What kind of tone does she use? How does she present her points? Judging from the clips you've watched, do you find her persuasive? Why might other find her persuasive? What kinds of fallacies can you find in the various clips?

As with all the weekly posts, feel free to move beyond these questions if there are other avenues you would like to explore.
