It looks to me like they guy figured you were either 1 of two type of people... the kind that will throw away everything but absolute premium hands here, or somebody who would completely gamble on anything.
Which means he must have figured that he's going to either -> steal the first blind, and look like a complete lunatic (which might pay off later), or -> he's going to be in a race with somebody who was willing to gamble with a medium-to-good hand.
I would definitely fold there unless I had any PP, or a-10 or higher. The Ace-8 would be just below what I would of considered callable.
Just out of curiousity was this a less than $3 buy in tourney? Might explain the guys lack of fondness to his money. :)
