"argumentum ad hominem" - an argument made fallacious by being aimed at the person, not at the issue; often used by the irascible in tandem with "argumentum ad bacculum", literally, badgering as if with the use of a bat.

It is "argumentum ad hominem"; however, one respondent who got that part right incorrectly suggests that an argument "ad basculum" is one that "badgers" the respondent, when the true meaning of that phrase is an argument by resort to force (or threat of force) -- basically, "You will be persuaded, or you will be beaten." The types are distinct and should not be conflated, as that individual has done. These terms always without exception refer to the form of arguments, not their manner.

in case you get reported as a leftist lots of the time which you have a communication with somebody, possibly you're a leftist! Is there something incorrect with that? once you're a guy or woman who has political comments that mirror a left wing ideology, you will desire to not be embarrassed approximately it and picture somebody is looking you names in the event that they are saying you're a leftist. There cetainly are different names thay would desire to call you that time out the left wing that are insulting. yet, to have an honest communication on political comments demands human beings that are actually not followers and are courteous to others and are genuine listeners and lots of alternative stable features that maximum human beings don't have. it is the clarification maximum political discussions finally end up as shouting fits.

Slow walking, filibustering, rhetoric?
An attempt to extend debate to delay or prevent a vote on its passage. Senate rules use to allow senators to speak for as long as they wish on any topic they choose.
When a person attacks your character, it's called denigration.

Ad hominem (from the Latin "to the man" as opposed to "to the issue" (ad rem?))

Personal attack? In any event, it's used by liberals routinely, because they have no substance in their arguments and routinely get backed into corners.
