GISH GALLOP: Overwhelm an opponent with rapid half-truths, misrepresentations, and outright lies making it impossible to refute them all in a debate

[Lakhota]

The Gish gallop (/ˈɡɪʃ ˈɡæləp/) is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality. The term was coined in 1994 by anthropologist Eugenie Scott, who named it after American creationist Duane Gish and argued that Gish used the technique frequently when challenging the scientific fact of evolution.[1]

Strategy​

During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of specious arguments, half-truths, misrepresentations, and outright lies in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate.[2] Each point raised by the Gish galloper takes considerably more time to refute or fact-check than it did to state in the first place, which is known online as Brandolini's law.[3] The technique wastes an opponent's time and may cast doubt on the opponent's debating ability for an audience unfamiliar with the technique, especially if no independent fact-checking is involved or if the audience has limited knowledge of the topics.[4]

No wonder President Biden was confused. I was also confused - and I'm sure many other were also.

He was confused because half his brain is mush and we've all known it, including you, for quite some time now.

What do you think?

I think both of them told multiple lies during that debate and you're simply engaging in your usual partisan hackery.

This minion of the dark one loves the lie, so he loves the Gish Gallop.

It's not that Biden broke their minds. They were already broken humans before Biden came along. Biden is just an excuse for them to act as badly as they always wanted to. If it wasn't Biden, it would be someone else.
