Yes. It's the kind of argument people here will accuse you of presenting if they don't happen to agree with you. You and foundit are quite fond of making such accusations.

I think you need to get out of that Florida sun.

It seems to be affecting the rational part of your brain.

Yet another strawman argument.

You always avoid explaining yourself and you duck questions.

Just like crazyflamingos

It must be a feminine trait.

No wonder men rule the world

Here, read it and stop doing it!

Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An example of a straw man fallacy:

Person A: I don't think children should run into the busy streets.
Person B: I think that it would be foolish to lock children up all day.

By insinuating that Person A's argument is far more draconian than it is, Person B has side-stepped the issue. Here the "straw man" that person B has set up is the premise that "The only way to stop children running into the busy streets is to keep them inside all day".

Now, do you guys mean Ad hominem?

Ad hominem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A (fallacious) ad hominem argument has the basic form:

Person A makes claim X
There is something objectionable about Person A
Therefore claim X is false

"The Truth Is Out There" .......

And as far as Bush Bashing goes, Bush is dumb and a liar there's no way around that.

In Bush's own words:
"
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001

6 MONTHS LATER..............

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
"
