In his speech, Stalin made an ad hominem attack by denouncing his political opponents as "enemies of the people" who were attempting to undermine the Soviet regime. This label was used to discredit and delegitimize his critics without addressing their arguments or positions.

What is the origin of the term 'ad hominem'?

Ad Hominem attacks attempt to refute an argument by pointing out that the person who is delivering the argument has character flaws. For example: Doctor Laura Schlessinger has a national radio programme in the US where she urges people to practise sexual abstension and follow strict family values. When it became known in 1998 that she had had multiple affairs as a young woman, and that there were nude photos of her all over the internet, some people thought that this damaged her credibility. But Doctor Schlessinger doesn't see things that way: regardless of her own behaviour, she should still be listened to when she gives advice to others. The term 'ad hominem' is a Latin phrase meaning 'at the man' (the idea is that the attack is 'at the man', and not 'at the idea'). Quintilian - the Roman Grammar and Rhetoric teacher - uses the phrase (Institutio Oratoria.X), so clearly the expression was already well known in Roman times.
