"Hey Mike, I thought you Socialists were above ad hominem attacks, guess you were wrong there too."

Hey Richie, I'm not a Socialist. You calling me one doesn't change that fact. You keep trying to label me with what you think are pejorative names, and you keep failing at it. I suppose next you'll call me a Scientologist...

And my objection to ad hominem attacks is that they have no place against an opponent in a debate or discussion because they show a lack of an argument. It's the equivalent of schoolyard taunting - it means you have nothing of substance to argue, so you resort to insulting your opponent. Last time I looked, I was not debating Trump about anything, so how is my calling him an idiot an ad hominem attack? Do some basic research on logical fallacies.
