Because its not about the specific issue, its about demonizing people who are willing to consider dangerous ideas.

This is no different than schoolyard name calling and is so juvenile. I just can fathom the thought process of someone that takes it to this level. If this is how someone believes they can win an argument, maybe it time for them to do a little self reflection.

it's not really about winning arguments, so much as it is about making it so that reasoned discussion is difficult/impossible. And introspection is probably the only way for them to realize this. Unfortunately intellectual curiosity doesn't seem to be a common characteristic of this crowd.
