Rhetological fallacies

This post over at Information is Beautiful sums up all the logical fallacies I remember (or do not remember) from college philosophy classes:

Relativist fallacy: Rejecting a claim because of a belief that truth is relative to a person or group.

What I really like about the chart in the post is that it is geared toward political rhetoric. In fact, the author coins a word - rhetological - to describe where to apply this chart. I'll be keeping it handy during the 2012 election campaigns. Source - http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/
