Perfect Example of Gish Gallop!!

[busterbrown]

I have posted many times how the right wing scum uses this technique in interviews or debates.
And the fact that 9 out of 10 times they are successful..

Now of course Jake Tapper wouldn’t be interested in shutting down this gun nut advisor to Trump,
But just the same it is a perfect example of the Gallop..

1. The day Trump says something that is factual, will be noted on my calendar

2. In a debate on the morality of America's Founding Fathers,

a Gish Gallop might look like this:
<snip>
"Sure we think that they were good folks, but did you know that Washington not only had more than 100,000 slaves, but he also staged gladiatorial games and made them fight to the death? He also ran a network of opium dens and used his gladiators as couriers to deliver opium all over the 52 states. In fact Washington's opium smuggling got so bad that the British had to step in which caused the Opium War that led to the Revolutionary War and John Locke's famous statement that he had to be given the liberty to smoke opium, or he'd prefer death. That also points out another problem, in that most of the Founding Fathers were part of Washington's opium cult and Ben Franklin's most harmful invention was actually a process to purify the active ingredient in opium and inject it. That's right, Ben Franklin invented heroin! What's more, by the time Andrew Jackson was president the US government was so full of drug addicts that they created a soft drink that was just a way to get cocaine into their systems. Don't believe me? It was called Coca Cola because it was a cola with cocaine in it. Go look it up and you'll find I'm right, coca cola really did contain cocaine!"
