I don’t understand how the statement you quoted matches your statement. A dysphemism is substituting a favorable expression for an unfavorable one.
I wasn’t referencing that one particular fallacy. The point was the adjunct and the associate prof are hacks. The article doesn’t ever reference what the statement was, but the “teacher” has to help the students with running commentary about what She thinks about class warfare. Any guesses as to which candidate she was responding to? I’ll bet it wasn’t BO.
