The fallacy of setting up a phony, ridiculous version of an opponent's argument and then proceeding to knock it down. media type="youtube" key="U-VzZQGWOqA" width="420" height="315"media type="youtube" key="DrnZdFFovBE" width="560" height="315" #|Video 1- This video is obviously promoting Lyndon B Johnson, they are bashing the "opponents" which in this case is Barry Goldwater to make Johnson's campaign and argument stronger. They say since Goldwater is going against and fighting to remove the treaty to not allow Nuclear Bomb testings that Johnson is better and you should vote for him. This uses straw man because Johnson is gaining and getting a positive view because they are knocking down and saying Goldwater is wrong for fighting against the treaty.
 * Straw #|Man (Fallacy of Ethos)-**

Video 2- The video is explaining the fallacy of Straw Man by saying that the kid got proven wrong so therefore the guy must be right. They are arguing over if Chocolate or Vanilla #|ice cream is better, of course they both have opposite opinions but the kids argument is that chocolate is the best in the world. The guy attacks the kids #|opinion and says he is wrong and says he needs more then chocolate so its strengthens his opinion. He bashes chocolate to make vanilla, his own opinion, better. media type="custom" key="27991747"
