Vegetarians are only trying to promote the Nazi brand

[eridani]

I mean, Hitler was a vegetarian, which clearly proves that no one else has any good reason to be one.

1. Could you elaborate?

Are you simply saying that simply because some heinous person supports something, that doesn't necessarily make that thing bad?

4. For further reading...

An association fallacy is an inductive informal fallacy of the type hasty generalization or red herring which asserts that qualities of one thing are inherently qualities of another, merely by an irrelevant association.

5. fine. so I summed it up in my post rather crudely, but the op, I suspect is making a specific

reference.

6. In another thread posters made note of the fact Alex Jones was all a-twitter over the NSA

I noted Hitler was a vegetarian so that meant vegetarians were Nazis. I don't know if the OP saw my post or sees the same fallacy or is referring to something completely different but that's how I interpreted the OP.

15. Exactly

This sort of "reasoning" is all too common around here lately

Some DU members object to NSA spying
Ron Paul and libertarians object to NSA spying
Therefore those DU members are supporting Ron Paul and the libertarians

See what I mean?

3. I married a vegetarian and then became a Nazi.

That can't be a coincidence.

8. I'm a Nazi. Does this mean I'm in danger of becoming a vegetarian?

13. resist the dark side! Keep your dignity! it could be worse ... VEGANISM ...

[rucky]

7. I eat meat and am not a Nazi

This must be true.

9. LOL

10. More like "beware of Greeks bearing gifts."

The citizens of Troy would endorse that had they the foresight to question who put the shiny wooden horse outside the gates and why. Sometimes a gift is not a gift.

11. I suspected as much

when I saw this.

[flvegan]

12. I get your point, and the way you expressed it should get attention, but

Hitler wasn't a vegetarian.

Proving everyone who is a vegetarian is a saint.

See what I did there?

14. The reason I am vegan is because Hitler was a vegetarian. Therefore, all vegetarians are evil. nt

[eridani]

16. But Dennis Kucinich is a vegan

That means he's worse than HITLER!
