The sad part is that he doesn't understand the logical fallacy he's stepped in and has been wading around in for a while.

Distilling the idiocy displayed herein as a logical fallacy delivers lulz to those of us who can comprehend this sentence properly, but is actually quite a serious miscalculation of the level of derp we're dealing with.
Not being able to understand a logical fallacy is a level of ignorance issue, which every single person will always struggle with. This is easy to empathize with, and in fact it is righteous to stand up for the ignorant state as inevitable, and you shouldn't deride this or that person for their level of ignorance, for the intelligence of humanity is aggregate, thus more than any one person could hope to achieve. Not understanding a logical fallacy can be explained away by saying that person hasn't had any form of higher education, a more common state than many seem to think. This, in and of itself, is nothing to be looked down on. Plenty of smart people didn't go to college.
However, when someone actually has the knowledge of what they are talking about it, or at least the appearance of the obvious access to information and a drive to discuss it, and then completely ignores that information in favor of popular opinion, you're dealing with
stupid.
