He took NO POSITION at all. His argument was that I was a nobody and used a profanity I won’t repeat. Just as your only position is that I’m a NOOB, which is not an position or argument at all. Therefore none of my comments can be Ad Hominen. For Instance if I now said you should retake the logic course.....that would not be Ad Hominem, it would be a simple a personal attack just like the term Mr. Alinsky remark was.
An example of how Alinskyites routinely utilize Ad Hominem attacks:
Tea Party person claims govt spending needs to be cut.
Liberal Politician claims Tea Party person is a racist, thereby discrediting the claim spending needs to be cut on an emotional level, without positing a counter argument of facts.
If the Tea Party person then replies to this Ad Hominem attack of the Liberal Politician by calling the Politician a Communist, the Tea Party person’s reply is NOT Ad Hominem; it is simply a personal attack as the Liberal Politician posited no counter argument.
Anyone who engages in this type of argument is in my book an Alinskyite.
Good night Comrade.
Sheesh. I don’t remember what he said exactly. I just thought it was a gas that you had to name call him right back. So grown up of you. ;-)
