Through my admittedly limited life experiences, I've found that, generally, persons who resort to ad hominem attacks when engaging in political discourse reveal fundamental insecurities about themselves.

I've never felt the psychological need to prove to anyone my ability to produce original ideas. When I need to come up with ideas--for example, creating story ideas at the magazine I work at--I've rarely had a problem. When I see someone who says something I agree with in a better way that I can say myself, I humbly defer to them. When I find that rare piece of original text or documentation that in itself shines more light on an issue than I could, I let the text speak for itself.

The writer wrote: Gad, to think that such cretins breath oxygen and reproduce on this earth!

I interpret such meanness and misanthropy as a desperate and angry man's cry for spiritual healing and help. If that's really how someone felt about fellow human beings, perhaps counseling--from a member of the clergy or a professional psychiatrist--is in order.
