Whenever the truth is inconvenient to their taste and programmed belief system they always retort with an attack on the speaker . In legal procedures and in debating circles is known as an " Argumenum Adhominum " .
Meaning : an attack against the person and not the idea or issue at hand .

Argumentum ad Hominem (abusive and circumstantial): the fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument. Often the argument is characterized simply as a personal attack.
Thank-you
That is perfect,. I can't tell you how many times I am trying to make a point and all kinds of synonyms for lib-tards get sent my way instead of addressing my point. Now I know what it's called and will use it.
