Arguing the opposite extreme does seem to be in vogue nowadays.
Support abortion, you must be an immoral baby killer.
Don't support abortion, you must be for unloved, unwanted children.
Like Gitmo, you must be a facist like Hitler.
Don't like Gitmo, you must be a flower loving hippie who supports the terrorists.
Believe in religion, you must be a total idiot with no ability to reason or no brains.
Don't believe in religion, you must be a total idiot with no ability to reason or no brains.
