NBC Reporter To Black Republican: Are You Aligning Yourself With The "Racism" In The Tea Party?
RealClearPolitics ^ | May 7, 2010 | RealClearPolitics

MSNBC HOST: Lt. Col., our time is limited, but my last question to you. The Tea Party has raised concerns that it may have, I guess, racism build in it. We have seen some racist signs at past events. People have said that is not apart of the Tea Party movement, but are African-American candidates aligning themselves with the Tea Party?

LT. COL. ALLEN WEST (RET.): Well, I don't think they're so much aligning themselves with the Tea Party. The principles and values I espouse: limited government, lower taxes, individual responsibility, accountability, liberty and honoring the traditions of our Constitutional Republic are connecting me with those grassroots Americans that attend Tea Party rallies. And I've spoken to four or five of those rallies and I've not seen any racist type of signs.

Lt. Col. Allen West, retired, is a Republican Florida Congressional candidate.

I’ve listened to LT. Col. Allen West and I like him a lot, What I wouldn’t give to have him occupying the oval office right now.

NBC reporter: I see racist signs.
Kid from that movie: I see dead people.

One’s about as valid as the other.

Exactly. I would suggest sending this to Bill Press but I think he already knows this and is feigning ignorance as to what Americans want.

The Tea Party raised those concerns?!
I could have sworn it was the media that fabricated that "concern"...

Have you stopped beating your wife yet? The Tea party did not raise concerns, but the MSM did, over and over.

This technique is called Poisoning the Well - another favorite news media logical fallacy, along with the straw man argument (”Why do you hate black people?”), the appeal to authority (”Everyone knows Professor X is a genius and he believes Y, therefore it must be true!”), and the Ad Hominem argument (we all know it well).
