"MOST of what I hear around here is that "Right-wingers are no good." and "Fundementalists are no good," and stuff like that there."

Well, no matter how much you hear it it's not reasonable discourse. It's opinion. And it doesn't make "Left-wingers are no good" and "Intellectuals are no good" reasonable discourse either.

Just because A talks nonsense doesn't mean B talks sense when he speaks the same way.
