Part 1. Definition

Part 2. Example
Comment: It's bad enough we already have all these American sicko's living in this country shooting up theatre, schools, churches, malls, etc., we don't have room for crazy muslims.
Answer: Identity-attack
Explanation: This comment contains identity attacks on both American and Muslim.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: Sigh. All we get is your anger and spite, GBA. This is a broken record. Now we have to skip President Obama and Hilary and jump back to Al Gore! Now we are going to split hairs about "climate change" vs. "global warming". What if you are wrong? I suppose you are satisfied with your lot in life so that the risk to the next generation means nothing to you? And what if "going green" is the next logical technical step in our human history? I wish you guys would get over these Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity moments. We don't have to agree on much, but get over your obsolete assertions. Going Green is great for business and it is great for the planet.
Answer:
Non-identity-attack
