Where a right winger might use the label terrorist lover, or commie, anti-American to those who don't share his view of what a patriot should be......is it also possible that the groups which claim to represent freedom and justice and equality can also play the same type of card. Do you think this ever occurs?

Is someone automatically racist if he has an argument with the NAACP over a particular issue?

Yes.

Can the term "bigot" ever be used by some people within certain groups to belittle valid dissent, the same way a right-winger might use the term "terrorist coddler".

No, of course not.

Now isnt this a bit unreasonable.
Don;t you see Unionist. You are giving the NAACP the same type of unfallibility the Pope once had. And the NAACP is composed of humans are they not? Can they not also make mistakes?
And what if the group does make a mistake, how can you then point it out or argue or dissent if people will dismiss any rational argument as being automatically racist? And cannot the same also be true of feminist groups. If they are composed of humans who err, than at times they can also make mistakes. And if they do how can one dissent against those mistakes of dissent is automatically labelled misogyny.
You are being just as totalitarian as the right wing is, you just choose different groups. But either side is composed of humans who make mistakes.
Do you really believe these things you are saying?
The rest of you. Don't you have any opinions on this? Please feel free to speak.
