Fisk-o-Rama

John Hawkins deconstructs two lunatic articles today.

In the first he takes on this kind of logic:

Person 1: "Hey, that guy who just walked into the bank has a gun and is wearing a ski mask!"

Person 2: "So what? Snow-hunters have guns and ski masks, too!"

In the second, well let's just say this kind of encapsulates it:
Come on you College Republicans, you're being too sensitive. Why, if you'd written a "comedy piece" that suggested keying the cars of faculty members, punching them in the mouth, and shooting 15 or 16 of them, why I'm sure they wouldn't have immediately expelled you, they would have just laughed and laughed and laughed!
