Poisoning the well is a well-known rhetorical fallacy. It is really worth the effort to study, learn and be on the lookout for fallacies in public discourse, although doing so will lead to some depressing insights.

False equivalences are also fallacious, and I urge you to desist from employing them.

I think you misread the parent and the grandparent.

Also, I can't understand what you're tying "poisoning the well" or "false equivalence" to.
