What is the warning for? What are you going to do to me for being snarky about my view of the democratic party and their illegal voting blocs?

Unless you want to take that somehow personally- they are not fighting words.

Unless you are wanting to pick a fight for the whole democrat party?

If I understand my fallacies correct (Alex feel free to correct me) the statement that you made was a Straw Man.

The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position.

It could also be construed as an Ad Hominem..

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting).

Before the admittedly snarky derail, we were discussing......immigration reform. Today on CNN there is an interesting article regarding the rising political strength of the Hispanic voters, which no doubt makes Republican lawmakers very nervous. Hispanic political power.
