What do they call this type of argument, again? Ad hominem?

If someone has a historical of unethical behaviour it's reasonable to want significantly more evidence for their claims.
Perhaps you could share what this person's history of unethical behavior is? Lasker is called a eugenicist by the GP and in the Wikipedia article, but when I read the cited sources, they look a lot more like opinion pieces pushing a viewpoint rather than hard news.
Then just show which claims need more evidence in their articles.
Are you referring to parent's or TFA's 'argument' here?
