57. Mischaracterizing or exaggerating someone's argument,

...and then attacking your own fabricated fantasy
is indeed a Strawman Logical Fallacy.


Nowhere did I "Condone Bullying".
THAT is YOUR mis-characterization,
complete with a word chosen to elicit a negative emotional response.

And I certainly never condoned "hitting".
THAT is your complete fabrication inserted to firm up your weak Strawman.
The fact that you chose to insert a complete fabrication indicates that you were well aware of how weak your response was, and desperately clutched at a total fabrication to somehow make your position appear to be more legitimate.

I DO condone Standing UP to Bullies,
and that is a very different thing.

Bullies are NEVER advocates for the weak, defenseless, and disenfranchised.
THAT is who LBJ Stood Up FOR,
and trying to characterize him as a "Bully" shows that you have either:

*a very distorted and unrealistic understanding of Politics and "Bullies"
(much like your understanding of "Strawmen&quot
OR
*you are not an honest broker of information.

Pick one.

Here are some sites that explain "Strawman" and other Logical Fallacies in simple terms that you can understand:
