The use of this technique is inclined to move an audience to reject a person or idea on the basis of the negative symbol, rather than a review of the available evidence.

Does name-calling add validity to the topic or position being discussed? If not, then it detracts from honorable discourse.

Does name-calling tend to dismiss otherwise valid points from consideration? If so, then its only value is as a tool of propaganda.

You could do much better, it requires a commitment to nobility of character. Not for the faint of heart...
