There is a huge difference in logical appeal between the Scot Ad and the Timken Guide. “Breeding” communism is mold. It is a
development without agent. This at least credits communism as an ideology people
come to on their own. By the 1960s, we view communism as a viral disease. Containment theory brings this about. The geographical nature of the spread had convinced americans to view communism in this way. Finding a communist is like finding a leper, an HIV carrier, (a homosexual in a 1950s spa . The change in logical appeal then, was due to a change in the audiences biases and ways of thinking. Appealing to these biases is the element of these to arguments that are appeals to pathos.
This post seems to be an important clarification on the difference in logical appeal between the two adds. However, it is not exactly clear what the difference is, so maybe if you elaborated more, the post would be more effective.
