Nutpick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verb: To use the most extreme person or position as an example of the other side of the argument. Refers to cherry-picking the worst or nuttiest comments to disparage a larger group.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example one: It is nutpicking to use \u201cGo back to Poland.\u201d as the opinion of all pro-Palistinian demonstrators because a few of them were yelling it at a rally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example two: It is nutpicking to use Marjorie Taylor Greene as a representative example of all conservatives.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutpicking is a new word that is a portmanteau of Nut (as in crazy) and Picking (as in choosing). It has been used and disparaged by, among others, Nate Silver and Jonah Goldberg.
