    Well there is the Gish gallop which is more of a tactic than an actual fallacy, where you bring up many different points in the same statement. usually debate rules are set up so that you take for example 5 minutes to make a statement, then the opponent must respond to the statement in 2 minutes, not enough time to address multiple inaccurate claims.
