Answer my chemotherapy question. Your previous dodge doesn't cut it. Explain why its not a valid analogy.

I have no problem with people with "different opinions" than me, that's the saddest cop out I've seen in a while. Everyone who still supports George Bush is brainwashed. Support Ralph Nader or Alan Keys (or Paul Martin ;-) ) for all I fucking care, but when you buy into the Karl Rove Ingsoc propaganda as badly as you do, sorry but you are brainwashed.
Oh, so ok to have different opinions, as long as you have the right different opinions? How nice of you. All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others, eh?

If you can accept that "brainwashing" is possible you must accept the fact that it is possible that you are the one that is brainwashed. After all, if you were brainwashed how could you tell? It practically goes without saying that you'd be brainwashed to think that other people are really the ones who are brainwashed. Creates a bit of a logical problem doesn't it?

Personally I find anyone who mentions brainwashing as frequently as a born-again-Christian mentions Jesus rather pathetic. It seems to illustrate a fundamental inability to accept dissent, which is a very sad and dangerous thing.
