Muzungu,

On the contrary I'm versed in both logic and the nature of fallacies. I wouldn't disagree that Mr. West, like many others, offered his own explanation for the vote in the U.K.  None of that is in question. What is in question is your claim that he was misrepresenting the argument of the opposition as to construct a straw-man to tear down.

For a straw-man to be made, there has to be an initial argument to be misrepresented. Only then can the original argument be torn down as a straw-man by the individual responding.

Person 1 advocates position ABC.
Person 2 misrepresents ABC as XYZ, argues against XYZ, never addressing ABC.

Disagreement doesn't equate to a straw-man.

Let me ask you, exactly whose specific arguments do you feel he misrepresented?

And how, exactly?

I'm just not seeing that.
