> You're ignoring the actual comment and replying to the term "American values" in isolation with a response you've probably given many times before.

It is fair to respond to an isolated point within an argument. If an argument contains a point that cannot withstand scrutiny, then the argument is unsound.

Furthermore, you should be ashamed of yourself for saying "with a response you've probably given many times before."

Such an accusation is easily verifiable if it were true. To make such a claim without even looking is immature and disrespectful.
