An Appeal to Logos...

This ad, created during the 2008 Presidential campagin by the Republican Jewish Coalition, features a picture of (then) candidate Barack Obama, next to the provacative text "Concerned about Barack Obama? You should be." The ad goes on to say "History has shown that a naive and weak foreign policy has resulted in tragic outcomes for the Jewish people."
This ad uses a historical approach to discourage voters from voting for Barack Obama. It is basically saying "Vote for Barack Obama, and you vote against Jews and Israel!" It is also usin inductive reasoning, by drawing a generalization from previous historical examples.
