It's a bit like attacking people and saying they're racist/sexist/whatever for disagreeing with your beliefs doesn't work and tends to backfire. By causing a bit of an 'us vs them' tone to the whole ordeal.

Now if only the media would stop doing this and try actual reasoned debate instead.

I wish that were true. Generally people are fine vilifying each other.
