Guest MikeSC Report post Posted August 22, 2004 The straw-man rhetorical technique (sometimes called straw person) is the practice of refuting weaker arguments than your opponents actually offer. It is not a logical fallacy to disprove a weak argument. Rather, this fallacy lies in declaring one argument's conclusion to be wrong because of flaws in another argument. It's just a coincidence that they found out that stuff on Hatfield. Have you gone to a book store recently? Noticed that there is no lack of Bush-bashing books? -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
