Many in the Left and Right are Guilty of These Fallacies of Logic

   Fallacies of Logic: The whole Left vs. Right thing is there in large part simply because many on both sides are guilty of Fallacies of Logic.

   They practice the Straw Figure Fallacy (previously called the Strawman, until someone decided that was sexist). In it, you mischaracterize another person's believes so you can attack them easier. Maxine Waters may never have called for violence, but you say she did, twisting her words to fit your attack.

   Then, there is the False Dichotomy or False Dilemma Fallacy. You assume there are just two views of the world, Left and Right. You narrow all believes to just those two categories and disregard that many people have some beliefs that fit in one category and other believes that fit in the other. The world is Black and White to you. There is no middle ground. This is also known as the Either/Or Fallacy. "You are either for us or against us," is the claim. You are either a Democrat or a Republican. No middle ground. 

  There are probably more Logic Fallacies the two sides are guilty of. For now, that will do, though.
