(n.) an informal logical fallacy (though a fairly common rhetorical strategy) in which the speaker decries some belief, position, or affiliation of their adversary by presenting it as an unthinkable abomination to be detested and abhorred by any right-thinking human being...to which every "right-thinking" person should respond with a collective gasp of horror or wordless scream: "aaaaa."

"You shouldn't sing 'this land is your land': Woody Guthrie was a communist!" "Oho, the aaaaa fallacy---so what? Does the song cause people to become communists? ... and on second thought, Kasparov was a communist, too. Should I avoid studying any of his chess moves?" | "Don't trust him! He thinks that God is an oak tree!" "Yes, so? The Hindi believe God is asleep; Islam, that He is alone; Some Christians think Him incomprehensible; others, that he is a perfected Man with a Wife and a family (us); and some religions believe in gods or spirits within all things---including trees. I don't see whatever it is that's making you panic here."
