Don't forget the Spanish Inquisition or bloody Mary. Highly unpleasant.

Either way, it's the No True Scotsman Fallacy. Someone holds a proposition X. Someone else points out that a fact A contradicts X. So the proponent says that X doesn't cover A. Or something like that. Jay would put it far more eloquently.
