Atrios has come up with a whole new set of pundit terminology

[La_Serpiente]

I found this quite funny. Have you ever wondered about the techniques used by pundits like Ann Coulter, Bernard Goldberg, etc., that seem totally bizzarre? Well, Atrios, with the help of other bloggers as well, has compiled a list of malpundit terminology.

The final list can be found here:

Malpundit terminology

I love it when new language is created.

Here are some examples:

acoulteration - providing outward trappings of evidence in order to acculturate viewers to believe obvious lies. (renato/DavidNYC)

ad hankering: The practice of accusing anyone who disagrees with you of ad hominem attacks, even if what they said had nothing whatsoever to do with an ad hominem. (Pandagon)

Coultering - the act of adding copious endnotes in an attempt to give the sham appearance that one's writings are scholarly, methodically researched and based in fact."

deus ex rectum: when arguing an increasingly unsupportable position, one suddenly and out of nowhere pulls a totally non-sequitur BS long-discreted right-wing meme out of one's ass.

This is definetly worth a bookmark.
