Essay
Identify any type of fallacy in the following passage.
From a column by Suzanne Fields, in the Washington Post, after George W. Bush had given a speech at Bob Jones University (well known for its anti-Catholic stance) and been attacked for it by fellow Republican John McCain:
"John McCain's attacks on George W. as an anti-Catholic bigot are over the line.... The governor of Texas made mistakes at Bob Jones University. He admitted them. He wasted an important opportunity to rebuke
Bob Jones' anti-Catholicism and its ban on interracial dating.... His performance and prominence there was ill thought-out, but it doesn't prove bigotry. It was also the height of hypocrisy when Mr. McCain exempted his supporter Rep. Lindsey Graham from similar criticism for his accepting an honorary degree from Bob Jones U., and not uttering a single syllable of criticism."
