which is the best example of an ad hominem (personal attack) fallacy?
the money you want to spend on building a new city hall will mean higher taxes!
youre nothing but a fearmongering and paranoid war hawk!
your product made more than two dozen people sick last year!
the information youre basing your conclusions on is outdated!

Explanation:

An ad hominem fallacy attacks the person instead of addressing the argument. The statement "You're nothing but a fearmongering and paranoid war hawk!" attacks the person's character. The other options address the argument (higher taxes, product - related illness, outdated information) rather than the person.

Answer:

You're nothing but a fearmongering and paranoid war hawk!
