Red herring- To give a clue to mislead people from a bigger promble at hand. To draw attention away fron the central problem.
Example: Sally was caught stealing in a store. Sally remarks: Well I only stole a re-called product. You should not have re-called products in your store.
I think that creating a red herring is a dishonest way to debate, or even try to win a debate. Anybody feel the same(I do not have question marks yet on my lap top)Or does anyone disagree.

Amen, when someone feeds you that you would be perfectly within your rights to point that out to the audience.
Reply:
"Sally, let us not stray from the fact that you were in fact taking the re-called item without paying for it. Hence a criminal offence."

To win a debate through a lie makes it not a win at all. It is really annoying when people do that.
