This by itself is ad hominem (circumstantial), but your example seems to be a bit different:
That could be considered poisoning the well. The person is asserted to be a bigot because they gave an opinion on something. The suggestion is that what the person wants to say should not be considered, or is unreasonable, because of that. Bear in mind though, although this tactic is typically used to shut down debate, if accusations of bigotry can be backed up, the other person may have gained a point. Real prejudice and bigotry, after all, are still very real. |

I think this kind of responding to an argument falls under the identity fallacy . And although I don't find many differences from the identity fallacy, there are also these fallacies that are in Dr. Bo's book |
