The Scurrilous Argument Challenge

One popular illogical argument in political forums like LitteGreenFootballs and DailyKos goes like this:

An allegedly evil figure, X, supports political candidate, Y
Therefore, Y is evil.

I challenge anyone to come up with an argument of this form to discredit the moderate Senator Olympia Snowe(R-ME), because I donated a small sum to her campaign. To make it easier, you should know that Olympia Snowe is Greek and has been hostile to the Turkish government as I think we should be.
