Does Credibility and An Appeal to Emotions Help Seal the Deal?

I will be the first person to agree with someone on not liking President Obama and his politics, but the blog that I am reviewing goes a little further that just stating dislike towards President Obama. It’s called Obama, The Religion of Resentment and it discusses the author’s views on President Obama. Let’s just say that the author’s views are not that nice.

The first line in the blog says, “Obama is a religious cult leader ruling America….” Now, right off of the bat the blog is attacking President Obama’s character. For anyone reading this article that is a President Obama fan probably was quite offended. This article isn’t really meant for President Obama supporters that pay attention to the news; this article is more directed toward President Obama supporters that have no idea what is going on in the world and just support President Obama because of his race or for some other reason. The article is also of course meant for the people that don’t support President Obama and will just be fueled by the blog.

This Armaggedon writer was brutal through his article on calling President Obama a “cult master” and accusing him of being mentored by different groups such as the Islam, the Marxism group, and by the Chicago Machine but while the writer’s tactics are crude, they do appeal to the emotions of the readers and make new arguments known. By being so up front and vocal, both supporters and non-supporters will pay attention to the blog. So, by being so out there, the writer’s issues that he brings up are being noticed and discussed whether the reader is agreeing or not.

The one major thing in the article that bothers me though is the constant misspellings and grammatical errors. For an article to be fully credible, it should be thoroughly proof read. By not spelling words correctly, the writer and his article loses a lot of credibility. Therefore by knowing that the blog might not be completely credible, but makes a good argument geared towards the emotions, it is really up to you on if you are affected by reading this article.
