Obama raps McCain for ignorance of his own houses

WASHINGTON - John McCain may have created his own housing crisis. Hours after a report that the Republican nominee didn't know exactly how many homes he and his multimillionaire wife own, Democratic rival Barack Obama launched a national TV ad and a series of campaign stops aimed at portraying McCain as wealthy and out of touch.

wow ....

Ah, but you didn't quote my comment about elitism; you quoted my comment about trust.

Correct. As a logical human being, I would assume that you intend for your points to at least have some cohesion. Your rebuttal is that contrasting their exclusivity in social status doesn't affiliate with the degree that one can place their reliance on the integrity and surety of a person when those naturally go hand in hand. I can sum that up: "Aha! But I technically didn't say he's the opposite of the party that I contrasted him with on another wholly related component."

In fact, you specifically mentioned trust, because you were trying to twist my words around. In doing so, you made a fallacious straw man argument

This wording is redundant. A straw man is fallacious by definition.

in which you attempted to assert that I said that Obama was more trustworthy than McCain. I didn't; I said that Obama was no more of an elitist than McCain.

An assertion is a positive statement. I asked rhetorically, and then pressed on with the premise that you responded with. If your rhetoric is so easily overwhelmed that merely doing that is enough to assert over it, then the problem goes far beyond anything I can do.

I also notice that you've changed your statement from "I didn't mention any candidate but McCain" to "I didn't mention any candidate but McCain when I made the comment about trust", which really doesn't assure me of the difference that you're trying to put forth. If trust and elitism are so obviously incompatible in your objective here, why did you have to add it in after my post pointed out the comparison? Surely you didn't think that I would read, "I never contrasted them", look at the part where you did exactly that, and go, "Oh, but he specifically doesn't mean this instance of contrasting. I won't contradict him by citing this." It had to be unintentional, which says to me that you didn't have this in mind as the foundation for what you're trying to debate.

Moreover, reposting the exchange is basically filibustering when it's no more than several posts up.
