If someone presents an argument on an issue and the counter-argument is that the someone is a Jew in context it is almost always an ad hominem attack.
In my case though I'm not even Jewish. Jew haters habitually call non-Jews Jews as a form of ad hominem attack. It is a substitute for arguments they very often lack.
If you're not a jew then there is no reason to be offended. It's really that simple. If you are offended than you probably are a jew...or a simpleton...in which case you don't really have an argument to make since you are to stupid to understand logic and rhetoric. (which I don't believe you are btw)

Perhaps but it's effective Rhetoric...
Effective Rhetoric = An Effective Argument

Only to the extent that superficial plebs are taken in by lynch mob style ad hominem attacks. It doesn't hold up long.

There is nothing wrong with calling someone a Jew when they are a Jew. It's not an ad hominem it's a SCIENTIFIC FACT. Therefore an Argument.

It's not about taking offence, it's about pointing out that when the best they've got is an ad hominem then they're probably wrong.

It's not even just calling him a Jew at this point.
