Name calling

nicole_eshelman — 2016-10-03 00:33:06 UTC

Name calling ties a person to a largely perceived negative image  to arouse fear and bad feelings about someone.

Verbal example: In a campaign speech to a logging company, the Congressman referred to his environmentally conscious opponent as a "tree hugger."
Explanation of visual: The picture is name calling because the poster is calling the politician a hypocrite meaning that he doesn't do what he says he will do. It's attaching a negative image to the person by using a word that will make him look bad.

Logicall facally is an error in some sort of argument and testimonial is when the author attemps to persuad the reader by using a famous person to declare the id ea.

I don't got spray paint I'm only good with the paint brush.
