When there is no possible way you can be on the side of right in an argument

then you must deny deny deny the facts as they actually exist.

Christian fundies don't hate gays. They hate the sin.

Racists don't hate (insert ethnic group), they just hate people who are (insert stereo type).

There is no patriarchy, women are just biologically programmed to be (insert a service required by the patriarchy here).

The dog isn't viscous. He might have scratched you, a little, might have.

You know I haven't actually studied the structure of debate techniques, but I am sure deny and minimize are classics.
