Ad hominem attacks

Let the record show that it was you who swung first, calling me politically naive and telling me 'Jeers'. This added nothing to your argument. The first was intended as an ad hominum, and the second as an insult -- so I thought it would be best to communicate to you in a language you understood.

Oh, I see.

Commenting on an analogy, by saying it's "ridiculous", "your polically naive" and then closing with the term "jeers", gives you the right to attack my person, with rhetoric like, I follow a course of "blind fealty", "reminiscient of the 'useful idiots' that got communism and fascism established in many countries".

I questioned your political awareness and you basically called me a communist. LOL. To this conservative, that's an outright insult. I think you over reacted Laz. You're caustic rhetoric was pure and unadulterated, ad hominem attacks. Period.
