If you have no more intelligent response than an Ad Hominem attack then you surely don't expect respect from anyone. Well Jeez Peter she just keeps quoting Rush. I listen to Rush so I know. BTW Peter "Ad Hominem" shouldn't be capitalized. It's not a persons name. <g>

Technically it might not be ad hominem. Its only ad-hominem if it state or implies that you're wrong, or that your arguments should be totally or mostly discounted, because of who you are (or are inaccurately claimed to be). ---- "You're a bastard." - Insult but not ad-hominem "Sally works for an insurance company" - Neither insult nor ad-hominem (except when the context of the statement indicates they are implying something like the statement about Sally below) "Who care's what you say, you're a bastard" - Ad-hominem abusive "Why should we listen to Sally's arguments about health care? She works for an insurance company" - Ad-hominem circumstantial
