A) "Everyone knows that Fred McFredderston is a corrupt mayor. If it weren't true, why would so many people believe it?" - Post Hoc - False Appeal to emotion - False Appeal to Popularity B) The Fallacy of "begging the question" is to be guilty of: - Assuming a cause and effect connection where there is none. - Raising an irrelevant point. - Insulting one's opponent instead of addressing the argument. - Assuming the conclusion of the argument as one of the premises in support of that same conclusion; arguing in a circle. - Begging the Red Straw Man

1. POST HOC. Their baby was the cause of good luck to the family because it was after her birth that they had put up a very successful business. 2. SLIPPERY SLOPE. If we don't extend the term of the president, the vice president will win and that will be the start of a government that has no direction and which will lead to a poor economy and many related problems. 3. AD MISERICORDIAM. Robbers who steal because of the desperate needs of their poor family should be forgiven. 4. BIASED SAMPLING. The Democratic party wants to know how Americans feel about illegal immigration, so they send a survey out to everyone listed on their party's mailing list. 5. TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT. A clerk who steals money from her company justifies her actions by saying that the company has been overcharging customers for years. 6. OVERSIMPLIFICATION. Criminality will be stopped if you put all convicts in the electric chair. 7. HASTY GENERALIZATION. An Italian was convicted of being a member of the Mafia. All Italians must be members of the Mafia.
