FUD

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fud&defid=181688

"Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Also known as scare tactics, either accomplished by threat or making the opponent doubt his standpoint. Not only used in lawsuits, but also in politics and military propaganda.

The company's FUD spreading caused many supporters to abandon their cause, except for the few that could see through its scaremongering propaganda."

    How about FUDPA?

    Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Then when that fails, try:

    Personal Attacks.

    You know, as in when your explanation or topic isn't strong enough on its own, you must levy personal attacks to get your way.
