Document Summary
In a recent blog post, rachel maddow finds factual inaccuracies in mitt romney"s rhetoric and exposes them. To do this, rachel must in a way counter romney"s rhetoric with rhetoric of her own. A prominent example is her use of numbering in the blog post. Numbering suggests an order while also showing there is more to come. Rachel maddow"s recent blog post takes romney"s rhetoric and proves it incorrect. A significant rhetorical feature the blog post has is the immediate use of sarcasm. An important feature of this blog post is that it is formatted for audiences who would visit this site. That being said, a level of sarcasm and mockery underlies the entire post. Rachel uses sarcasm and colloquial phrases to undermine romney"s momentous claims. She doesn"t take up a paragraph to refute something romney said. Instead, she provides brief, critical remarks about the what romney said.
