Fallacies and tactics
Argumentum ad Stalinum:  "Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot were atheistic communists and they killed millions of their own people."

This is actually a variation of the Correlation is Causation fallacy.

One way to refute it is to repackage the argument in a way that rebounds on the claimant.

Argumentum ad Testosteronum:  "Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot were all human males. Their cruelty and aggression must be attributed to their sex."
