Because your views are hateful by definition and thus you deserve to be called out on it. I don't agree with Nazis on Jews, I don't agree with the KKK on Blacks, and I don't agree with your beliefs on gays.
All are disgusting, vile, and remnants of the stone age.

The tactic is dishonest, mean-spirited, patheitc, fallacial, and almost exclusively used by liberals.
Why do liberals seem so afraid to engage in a discussion and instead use hyperbole and mischaracterization to frame the argument?
The common and dishonest tactic here is asking a question based on a false premise as if it isn't.

It's just another one of those stupid little code words they learned by watching too much MSNBC.
According to the uber-conservatives around here it's because Saul Alinsky told them to.
(Never mind that the uber-conservatives wouldn't know who Saul Alinsky was if he rose from the dead and organized a protest march in front of their local Piggly Wiggly on Discount For Republicans day.)

Excellent post! IMO, liberals/lefties have no viable arguments for their stances so they have to resort to ad hominum attacks. They use the example of the fringe element on the right to demonize the majority on the right who don't share a lot of their extreme views. It is blantantly dishonest and childish, IMO.

Why would they need to be able to recognize him in order to know what's in Rules for Radicals?
To answer the OP: because people choose to be irrational, so the technique works.
