Obviously you must have a thorough knowledge of the subject matter and a knowledge of rhetoric. To be able to argue ad hock is a talent many aspire to be great at and to achieve this can take years of practice and formal education. Most choose to pick their arguments. Start with studying philosophy and what are called logical fallacies, then examine examples of these argumentative pitfalls. See if you can pick them out of debates and I suggest Christopher Hitchens. He is a joy to watch.
Watch people like Reza Aslan. He is a bottom feeder. You'll hear his populist prostitution and you can get a feeling for how to disembowel this type of emotional snake oil salesman.
