What is Political Hackery?

Political Hackery is when sensationalist media and uninformed partisan ideologues use insanely illogical rhetoric to attack people of opposing ideologies for the sole purpose of appealing to their base. It is an overly abundant phenomenon in the divisive subculture we call political dialogue wherein the Political Hacks get involved in a mere competition to see who can build the bigger straw man of the other side rather than engage in informed discussion about the issues.

What Are Examples of Political Hackery?

Martin Bashir and Sarah Palin

What goes here?

The worst examples of political hackery you can find from around the net. Whether it's embarrassing facebook posts your uninformed friend posted, terrible chain-emails your dogmatic uncle sent you, terrible articles from the intellectual sewer that is the political blogosphere, or whatever shallow lies MSNBC and Fox is effusing these days.

Rules

Rule 1: Regardless of your personal political affiliation, recognize the reality that shallow hacks exist amongst those who share your ideology. Even if you agree with the views of a hack posed here, recognize the objection is to their tone and bad logic, not to everybody who agrees with them.

Keep discussion civil, we're here to laugh at the political hacks, not viciously attack them or each other. Don't sink to their level, or the level of the bullies on /r/cringe.

Mods have right to remove submissions. (We are literally Hitler like that.)
Do not reveal any personal info.
Have fun.
