I see it now and then when I'm off exploring parts of the web I don't usually visit. Someone will give and opinion and the counter argument is "Well, what do you expect from a [choose one] Republican, commie, right winger, Democrat". That is, there is no discussion of the opinion or counter argument, just straight to the ad hominem attacks.

Just like here!
I love when I am in a debate (or think I am debating) and I present a couple of paragraphs presenting my side and the response is "Well you post so much you are just a dumb spammer" without as much as one single word refuting what I said. That is usually the stage in the debate where you just give up because you know there is no counterpoint coming.
