To accurately identify the type of fallacy demonstrated in the article excerpt, I would need to see the specific content of the excerpt. However, I can provide you with definitions for the fallacies you've listed:

  1. Ad Hominem: This fallacy occurs when an argument attacks a person's character or traits instead of addressing the argument itself.

  2. Loaded Language: This involves using emotionally charged language to sway an audience's feelings rather than making a logical argument.

  3. Gambler’s Fallacy: This is the belief that past random events affect the probabilities of future random events occurring, commonly expressed in gambling situations.

  4. Slippery Slope: This fallacy argues that a relatively small first step will inevitably lead to a chain of related events resulting in significant (and often undesirable) consequences.

If you provide the excerpt, I can help you pinpoint which specific fallacy is present.
