Here is one from Youtube with Penn and Teller - they are focusing on
environmental issues, but it certainly can be used for any issue. Anyone
else against dihydrogen monoxide?

I am going over critical thinking guidelines in class and want to present
examples of emotional reasoning. I want to help the students realize that
the passion for a claim or issue is not the key problem, but rather the
emotionalism that often directs/distorts one's further examination. Can
tipsters see or develop other examples of where emotionalism is a problem
in problem-solving, investigation? Emotional reactions or defensiveness
can often be the culprit in closing off discussion or hinder openness
eh? I am trying to find examples that would help students make the
distinction here. Appreciate any ideas. Gary
