Wow dude, I thought you were one of the reasonable ones. So he's hating on all female Republicans because they're fundamentalists which in his view means they actually have faith. If they went to church but thought most of what was said was BS he might vote for them. Now it's clear from the start he was against Bachmann because she's a Republican and therefore must be a fundamentalist. When question he looked it up and came back with a big aha because he suprised himself.
So the straw man really is claiming she's a fundy while she isn't. So he than had to cover is error by changing his defininition of a fundy to mean anyone that isn't a moderate. Fair enough. Now to claim that since she believes in a higher being she's too stupid to run the country is what I was trying to draw out and it came too easy. So I'm thinking you weren't paying attention if you think I was using the straw man. Everything I claimed from the begining came to be true bigotry he was trying to disguise as intelligence. It's basic drill down, he says something offensive and I keep asking qestions until he realizes his bias. Everyone does it to me all the time, only with less satisfying results.
