Look at the first response to my post about race-baiting: rahl didn't actually address whether or not Beck was guilty, but he started talking about other people guilty of race baiting, committing a both a tu quoque fallacy and a red herring fallacy. Then DK mentioned MSNBC possibly race-baiting. Then samcol followed suit. Notice how none of them actually talked about Beck?
Similar, but not the same. I'm not familiar with crowds of people burning Beck's books or people making death threats against him.

Now just hang on a second. I'm not trying to deflect anything, I had no idea what race-baiting meant so I asked. I then wanted to point out that when a white guy does it he's a raacist, but when a person of color does it he's a champion...well Bull shit. I understand this particular thread is about Beck and his racist comments. I'm just pointing out that no one of color gets called on the same thing
