Nope. contrary postions are fine. stupidity isn;'t.

If it's that untenable then why give it a moment's thought?

Because they are bad neighbors.

So what do you propose for those you deem "stupid?"

Annihilation? Exorcism? Re-education?


What's liberal about the facts?

"Facts" now that's a handy term. So in the Global warming debate, I
assume those that agree with the IPCC are basing their conclusions on
"facts," while those that don't are simply stupid?

Sorry -- when the opposite position gets to determine when the counter
is a "contrary position" or simply "stupid" and baseless, that's not
an argument, that's a contradiction. And until there's an agreement to
return to logic, you have namecalling.

Review Monty Python for clarification.
