The truth is that there are extrememists everywhere that dismiss well founded criticism they don't like while embracing unfounded critcism they agree with.
But the honest person looks at the facts before believing or rejecting criticism.
I for example, posted a rather scathing post in the Orson Scott Card thread because I believe what Card said is true. From that, many will undoubtably think I'm a die hard conservative. But I also strongly disagree with the current administration's Patriot Act and Patriot Act II as well as its stance on abortion rights. That might make some think I am liberal.
The reality is that I try to look at each situation and evaluate it on its merits, which far too few people do, IMHO.
