(154,021 posts)As a politician. We could be talking of king George III or Caesar for all I care, or yes, now that I think about it, David Koresh. See, it does not just apply to politics.
And what you call a logical fallacy is known as the psychology of mass movements. See I am talking, almost graduate seminar level here. But the seminal work on this is assigned to first year undergraduate students in poth poli sci and history. Reading that and having read into it lets me fully get the psychology behind, now let's get personal, the Reagan lovers, the nixon blind defenders (nothing like meeting one in 2003), Clinton Accolytes. Bush bots and yes, a few blind Obama supporters. The psychology is exactly the same. And the op asked, I answered...
For the record it has nothing to do who I like as a politician either. Or for that matter who I will vote for in 2012. Free clue, it is the same guy you will be voting for.
Sorry for trying to lift the discussion from the mud there sparky.
