If you mean his "Friends! Romans! Countrymen!" speech, he is not so much making a point as crying havoc and loosing the dogs of war, as he said he would. The speech is a remarkable appeal to the emotions of the Roman mob, not to their reason. When you sneer sarcastically "and sure, he is an honourable man" the emotional response of the hearer is to agree "right, he is no honourable man" without thinking. Brutus is certainly an honourable man; Antony himself says so at the end of the play after Brutus is dead and no longer a threat. Antony is not making a point, but trying to get the mob into an irrational rage which will hunt the conspirators out of the city and give Antony the opportunity to replace Caesar as dictator.
