This man is a fraud. 100 % fraud. 
--Argumentum ad hominem (argument directed at the person). This is the error of attacking the character or motives of a person who has stated an idea,
rather than the idea itself. The most obvious example of this fallacy is when one debater maligns the character of another debater (e.g, "The members
of the opposition are a couple of fascists!"), but this is actually not that common. A more typical manifestation of argumentum ad hominem is
attacking a source of information -- for example, responding to a quotation from Richard Nixon on the subject of free trade with China by saying, "We
all know Nixon was a liar and a cheat, so why should we believe anything he says?" Argumentum ad hominem also occurs when someone's arguments are
discounted merely because they stand to benefit from the policy they advocate -- such as Bill Gates arguing against antitrust, rich people arguing for
lower taxes, white people arguing against affirmative action, minorities arguing for affirmative action, etc. In all of these cases, the relevant
question is not who makes the argument, but whether the argument is valid.
