Please take a step forward, all those trying to make Osaman bin Laden a holy good. I have always liked this definition Strawman Argument: (np) 1. Stating a misrepresented version of an opponent's argument for the purpose of having an easier target to knock down. A common, but deprecated, mode of argument. -- This is one of the most unethical and cowardly of debating tactics, since you have so little confidence in your own position that you cannot even address the real position of your opponent. At the heart of the Straw Man Argument is deception.
