It is called a Red Herring and is as invalid as the fallacy it attempts to attack. <br /><br />Suggestion to Anonymous commenter: if you must state an opinion, address the body of the argument.

Name one thing.<br /><br />If a white man acted exactly like Obama does, you'd think he was "calm," or "confident." Perhaps "self-assured." But when has Obama swaggered? Strutted? He's made some mild jokes, but he hasn't insulted anybody.<br /><br />He is, admittedly, blessedly without the frat-boy arrogance of Bush. He's quiet, he's thoughtful. The primary difference between him and any of the previous presidents is the color of his skin.<br /><br />So unless you have some evidence, maybe you should examine yourself first.Nameless Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963921060024737712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984086.post-63240745694468166622010-03-11T07:08:39.037-07:002010-03-11T07:08:39.037-07:00Why is it that the first argument a liberal makes ...Why is it that the first argument a liberal makes when someone criticizes the Boy King is to accuse someone of racism?
