Fred Thompson is an actor.
Many actors are gay.
Fred Thompson has non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is most common among patients suffering from AIDS.
AIDS is very common among gay men.
Therefore... Fred Thompson probably has AIDS?
Don't be too critical; I'm new at this nonfactual conclusion-jumping thing, so any pointers you could offer would be helpful.
(P.S. I don't think he has AIDS; I'm trying to make a point here.)

Which spin are you comparing this to? Why not just ask a question about that?
Instead, just take a person's character and illness and try to prove some elusive point.
Point not well made or taken.

That's funny; a Liberal poking fun at taking bits of truth, stringing them together with some warped logic, and coming to a totally wrong conclusion.
Liberals invented reality creation.

It is an exaggerated example of spin, but we see this spin on both sides of the political fence.

You forgot to add that, as an actor, he may be gay. If you simply call him gay, you would be getting close to Ann Coulter.

Leave it to a liberal to attack a good man and then say he's trying to make a point.

welcome to Rovian politics 101...similar to the push polling Bush's campaign did in 2000 vs. McCain that stated to S.C. voters "what if you found out McCain had an illigitamate biracial daughter, would you still support him"...

that is the worst attempt at logic ever. whoever said that obviously hears and believes whatever anybody tells them.
