(5) Although it is a heated competition, I think the single dumbest and most intellectually dishonest rhetorical tactic — wielded most prominently by Drudge but with plenty of followers doing the same — is from those who cite cold weather conditions on a given day in order to impliedly discredit the worldwide consensus of climatologists and other scientists on global warming. It would be as if someone constantly linked to individual obituaries as proof that world population is not really growing. It is that dumb and dishonest.
