American Rhetoric

Media_httpargumentati_ocmfo
As we are looking at rhetorical devices and ways to win an argument this, American Rhetoric is a great resource for finding out more about rhetoric in the real world, particularly political, religious, and entertainment related speeches. I particularly like the audio and visual resources that give a real sense of the impact that a well presented and timely use of rhetoric can have on the positions of an audience, who are, after all, the real persuadee's in this kind of situation.
