Questions regarding letter backfire again

| December 29, 2020 1:00 AM

In response to Monte Heil’s letter (Daily Bee, Dec. 3) we see his logic is turned to his own form of fallacy. Mr. Heil takes umbrage with a previous letter and points out errors in reasoning that support his position on the topic.

He begins with the logical fallacy ad hominem where he claims that the writer is intimidated by logic “as most liberals” are. The fallacy is the premise that we will all agree that liberals are illogical. Therefore we should ignore the commentary presented

by the previous writer.
