Person 1:
"I am for raising the minimum wage in our state."
Person 2:
"She is for raising the minimum wage, but she is not smart enough to even run a business."
Hasty Generalization: Conclusion based on a small sample size, rather than looking at statistics that are much more in line with the typical or average situation.
Ad hominem: attacking the person making the argument, rather than the argument itself
Red Herring: redirecting the argument to another issue to which the person doing the redirecting can better respond. The deliberate diversion of attention with the intention of trying to abandon the original argument.
Post hoc: Claiming that because event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X, without properly establishing what really caused event Y.
