Circumstantial Ad Hominem Description:
A Circumstantial ad Hominem is a fallacy in which one attempts to attack a claim by asserting that the person making the claim is making it simply out of self interest. In some cases, this fallacy involves substituting an attack on a person’s circumstances (such as the person’s religion, political affiliation, ethnic background, etc.). The fallacy has the following forms:
1. Person A makes claim X.
2. Person B asserts that A makes claim X because it is in A’s interest to claim X. 3. Therefore claim X is false.
1. Person A makes claim X.
2. Person B makes an attack on A’s circumstances.
3. Therefore X is false.
