AC, mate, you gotta provide more data - just having a bit of flame feels good, but you need to provide some evidence (or apparent evidence, if you don't have any actual).

For instance Strawman has gone a bit overboard on the hyperbole, so a good move would be to accuse him of "specious, historically inaccurate hyperbole" then provide a couple vivid examples of the hyperbole ("we were going to see hyperinflation, children were going to starve, and the dead were going to walk the earth"), deride them ("just who ever said children were going to starve Mr Strawman!") emphatically a few times, then repeat the specious inaccuacy claim. Voila! case proven!

Have a go AC, then I will show you a couple more cool techniques for on-line sophistry ...
