- "I refuse to listen to you" (w:Invincible ignorance fallacy)
- "Let's agree to disagree" (w:I'm entitled to my opinion)
- an abstraction (abstract belief or hypothetical construct) is treated as if it were a concrete real event or physical entity (w:Reification)
I will no doubt have more later - this is a small bite from the buffet, to gets us started.
More:
- "He has a reason for saying that" (w:Appeal to motive)
- "He's right because he's poor" (w:Argumentum ad lazarum) -- the inverse of "Appeal to Wealth"
- "Better dead than Red" (w:Red-baiting) -- Related to "Hitler Ate Sugar", but at the other end of the political spectrum
- "Because I said so" (w:Ipse dixit)
