This is how they play. Why should this subject be any different than how they discuss other subjects?
“The problem with Public schools is that they are underfunded. Those who disagree are narrow minded.”
“The problem with the Middle East is our lack of understanding of Islam. Those who disagree are narrow minded bigots.”
“The problem with out-of-wedlock children is not enough money for Planned Parenthood. Those who disagree are narrow minded misogynists”
“The problem with crime is our racist prison sentencing policies. Those who disagree are narrow minded racists.”
“The problem with guns is too many people who still believe in the Constitution. Those who disagree are narrow minded “Clingers”
“The problem with the deficit is its too small. Those who disagree are narrow minded tax payers.”
“The problem with our culture is too many people who still expect wholesome family entertainment from Hollywood. Those who disagree are narrow minded religious people.”
“The problem with illegal immigration is too many Americans. Those who disagree are narrow minded Americans.”
“The problem with our foreign affairs is too many people who see the world’s Tyrants as a problem instead of American conservatives. Those who disagree are narrow minded jingoists.”
“The problem with no jobs is not enough Unions. Those who disagree are narrow minded one percenters.”
“And of course, the problem with Global warming is too many people still asking for and wanting evidence that actually shows it. Those who disagree are narrow minded “Flat-earthers”.
It’s just how they roll.

For what it’s worth: at least someone is allowing debate.
