Happily, we seem to be seeing more of this sort of thing lately.

Extremely sound reasoning, followed by an absolutely insane conclusion.

Inferring from “Ideologically, the Republican establishment doesn’t appreciate the difference between being pro-market and being pro-business” to “Romney is eminently qualified to make the pro-market case” makes about as much sense as saying “Every time I eat a polka-dot mushroom I get sick. Therefore, this giant polka-dot mushroom over here is eminently qualified to cure me.”

“Ergo, presto!” as Benjamin Tucker would say.
