How not to argue your point

Ok, I just have to comment on this because it is a huge pet peeve of mine.

If you are an obvious far right Republican and you post articles from FOX news to your Facebook page to prove your point, you prove NOTHING.

If you are an obvious far left Democrat and you post articles from MoveOn.Org to your Facebook page to prove your point, you prove NOTHING.

That is all.

And, if you post something more neutral, no one will understand.

The point is to take the facts and figures from the opposing side and use those exact same numbers and words to prove your point. In fact, not only does it prove your point in a more dramatic and irrefutable way, it can also make for good comedy - just ask Steven Colbert, Jon Stewart and the like.
