Red-Baiting

A logical fallacy that consists of making an accusation that some person is a communist, often with the aim of discrediting them. It can also be used to discredit an idea. It's most used in politics, often by right wingers when discrediting anything slightly left leaning.
Red-Baiting can be boiled down to: "Anything I don't like is communist!"
