What does he mean?

When exposing your own ideas, in oratory or textual form, you should be careful in how you address those who oppose you or are in disagreement with you since, gratuitously attacking your opponents —like calling them slobs— without offering arguments for the attack itself may only alienate those who are already in disagreement with your argument, to begin with.
