RE: Deliberate use of fallacy

The one that gets to me most is when people claim an argument against their own argument which they then rationalise away as stupid, which it is, but that argument was never made. I see it all the time in apologetic religious books: "Atheists say this" ("no we didn't") "but clearly it is nonsense" ("we agree but we never proposed it!"). Then they come out looking as if they have won the argument.
