Get the Strawberry Slinger mug.A locical fallacy in which the arguementative point is made into a caracature of it's original point. Extremely effective because it's not based on facts, but lies and assumptions. The burden of proof then lies in the defense, not the offense. Especially effective when the defense isn't allowed to offer objection. Popularized by right wing talk radio hosts Rush and Hannity.
Step one: Build the straw man. Ignore facts and make outlandish lies/slander. Redefine the facts. "liberals want to take your guns away and turn the U.S. over to the U.N."
Step 2: Knock down the straw man. "That flies in the face of everything we Americans believe in."
Step 3: Connect step 2 to step 1. "Only a communist would think of something like that."
Step 4: "Negate" your opponant by opposing the conclusion in step 3. "I hate those liberal communists. If they think us right-wingers will sit quietly while they destroy the country the're dead wrong."

Rush and Hannity can't argue the facts, so they have to make up the "evil liberal agenda" and then appear patriotic by opposing it.

Get the bendy straw mug.Strawberry Clock is basically a Strawberry with a clock face for a face, complete with clock hands. He is the self-proclaimed King of the Portal, and is also coolboyman. It is said that StrawberryClock had started the Clock Crew, but it was infact, 3 other clocks - OrangeClock, RaspberryClock and AppleClock. StrawberryClock was considered notorious among most NG Users, making bad animations - the most infamous being 'B'. B wasn't an animation at all, just a red B in a white background. StrawberryClock has been treated as a bad guy in some Flash movies.
"StrawberryClock is the King of the Portal. Everyone loves StrawberryClock. If you don't like StrawberryClock, you are insane and must be burned at the stake.", The opposite of Clock Subliminal Messages by grandmasterj.
