    1. Propaganda: How Not to Be Bamboozled By: Aaron Michaels Madhuri Paravastu

    2. Propaganda Fashion, food, politics, and trends Negative Connotation Helps shape our attitudes

    3. Name Calling Labeling with negative meaning “[…] this war was lost the day that George Bush invaded Iraq on a fraudulent basis”

    4. Glittering Generalities These words try to get us to accept and agree without looking at the evidence “strength“ "democracy“ "patriotism“ "common good“ "freedom”

    5. Plain- Folks Appeal Speaker tries to win our confidence and support by appearing like a regular person "I understand how it is to live from day to day not knowing where your next meal will come from. No American should have to do this. You deserve better and I will give you better."

    6. Argumentum ad Populum Speakers says what people want to hear "If many believe so, it is so." Most Americans hold that the Vietnam War was morally wrong. Therefore, the Vietnam War was morally wrong.

    7. Argumentum ad Hominem This method distracts attention away from the main issue by attacking the people that are involved in it "I heard Louis Farrakhan argue last week that Black men need to take more responsibility for their lives. How can anyone believe him? Some of the things he has said are clearly anti-semetic."

    8. Transfer (Guilty or Glory by Association) Association of negative or positive qualities You should love Windows XP, after all, the Gates Foundation donates millions to charities every year.

Faulty Cause and Effect Giving the credit to one person from a generalization Mayor Giuliani at the first Republican Presidential Debate. “[..] I ran the most conservative government in the last 50 years in New York City, reduced crime, reduced welfare, balanced the budget and lowered taxes 23 times.

    11. False Analogy False analogies are used to compare two unlike things in hope to try to sound and just Government is like business, so just as business must be sensitive primarily to the bottom line, so also must government.

    12. Begging the question Begging the question is a type of argument that may seem true but has no evidence "A good student must study a lot. Someone who does not study can never be very accomplished."

    13. The Two-Extremes Fallacy (False Dilemma) Speaking as if there is no grey area between the two point of views “[..] because I think one of us two will end up being the next president of the United States of America."

    14. Card Stacking Building up the talker and using facts which people do not consider the facts Mr. Thompson at the First Republican Presidential Debate. “[…] I vetoed 1,900 things; I reduced taxes by 16-and-a-half billion dollars.”

    15. Testimonial The speaker mentions someone that is well respected by the masses which makes people have a sense that the speaker is much more legitimate Mr. Thompson at the First Republican Presidential Debate. “We forgot to be coming up with new ideas, big ideas like Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan had an optimism and a belief that America could be stronger and better tomorrow than it is today, […]”
