association fallacy

An illegitimate child between ad hominem (because association fallacy focused on the PERSON or PEOPLE instead of the ARGUMENT), appeal to emotion, hasty generalization, questionable cause fallacy (because "labels" associated to someone or something can determine the degree of "truth"), and red herring (because it deliberately derails the argument)

Association Fallacy has two kinds:
1. Guilt by association
2. Honour by association
Example of association fallacy:

"You're Neo-Nazi, therefore your argument must be wrong" (Godwin's Law/Reductio ad Hitlerum)
"You are leftist liberal special snowflake, therefore your argument is dismissed" (Red-bait/Red-tag)
"You're the expert, therefore your opinion must be right" (Honour by association)

Texas Association of County Treasurers

Collection of elected officials with high salaries, perks, and absolutely no authority. Since 1987 when every county with a population of over 10,000 has been required to have an independent auditor appointed by the district judges, the position has been a useless waste of taxpayer money.
The Texas Association of County Treasurers supports candidates who kill legislation that threaten their titles. The Texas Association of County Treasurers sent the paper a fact sheet on the importance of keeping the position open.
