You mean something like

Organizing Tea Parties to let our elected representatives know that we are not happy with the way things are going in Washington? Wait, shoot, I think they got ridiculed for that. Perhaps take to the streets with our guns to show our displeasure? Think they would get that message?

Original article: Pat Boone goes Birther

I believe this is called the genetic fallacy

It goes like this: Pat Boone's music and choice of wardrobe is to be disregarded therefore whatever point of view he has on a subject is also to be disregarded.

Hitler did horrible things therefore we should regard his views on efficient transportation as something to be dismissed.

That's funny

Not one mention of the cost of illegal aliens in our state. Arnie admits it at least five billion but in all likeliness it's two or three times that. Even at five billion just think of the health care we could pay for all the legal children. Get them out of our prisons and save even more. Ah but no one wants to hear that.
