The Internet Encyclopeadia of Philosophy has a Fallacy identification page. http://www.iep.utm.edu/f/fallacy.htm

and finally, The Nizkor Project, an essential clearinghouse site for Holocaust research dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. Its has an excellent page on fallacies based on the work of Dr. Micheal Lobossiere.
