William Smith, JD, Endorsement
William Smith, JD, is the best thing that has happened to the Lauderdale County Commission in recent memory. Smith is a go-getter who doesn't need this office to launch his career or bring him fame; he already has both. Both a practicing attorney and published author/local historian, Smith has long been in the forefront of the fight to bring Lauderdale County into the 21st Century.
Until now, both sides have run a clean campaign; however, his opponent Rhea Fulmer has recently initiated a few uncalled for jabs. Ms. Fulmer, who believes the body of water just west of Killen is called "Shoals," has lambasted Mr. Smith for his choice of campaign sign colors. Ms. Fulmer apparently doesn't know that Kelly green is a long way from Sping green--or that the use of colors can't be copyrighted. If this is her idea of a campaign issue, I hope the citizens of eastern Lauderdale County realize she's just not Commission material.
Shoalanda Speaks wholeheartedly endorses William Smith, JD, for the Lauderdale County Commission on November 4, 2008.
What's up with this: It seems a certain former Lauderdale County detective and amateur chef has taken up the mantle of ghost-hunter. Hope he doesn't get K.O.'d.

ReplyDeleteFallacy of authority by including "J.D."

No Supporting evidence for your conclusion and an obvious appeal to pity by saying the "local historian" and the other stuff as though he is deserving his appointed position.

There are so many fallacious and irrelevant statements made there, I don't quite know where to begin. I will start with "copyrighting" colors. Although it is true that colors can not be copyrighted, they can be trademarked. In fact, John Deere and Company have registered their trademark for the use of their colors. Trademark information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark
Your entire argument is a prime example of ignoratio elenchi and red herring.
By using the above statements as a premise for your conclusion that she isn't commission material, you are using the fallacy of omitted evidence, which, I hope is self explanatory. She is one of the handful of candidates in the state of Alabama endorsed by Conservation Alabama, whereas Smith, JD is not.
As far as the signs go, I guess you are referring to the Times Daily article about campaign signs. Having spoken with people that were at the event, I can tell you that her statements were said in jest. She was paraphrased from an event that took place over a month before the article was written.
Your arguments are reckless and nonexistent at best. Apparently, I have had a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
