Hard to do "Politics in Full Sentences" in 140 characters or less.
I did formal debate as a student, and knew the reference, but I still did a double take when I read it until I connected the dots. Politics in full sentences would be calling him out using the name of the logical fallacy, and explaining why he wouldn't respond. No need to use that example or drop to the level of the hecklers, imo.
