My favorite thing is the formulaic response: NAME CALLING + PARSED NEGATIVE = IGNORE.
(name calling) "you are a tree hugger"
(parsed negative) "you haven't traded your SUV in for a Prius"
(ignore) "don't have the right to tell us anything about foresting"
So you get a response like - "Until you freaking tree huggers trade in your SUV for a Prius don't tell us what to do about forest managment in my backyard."
Or - "Those nutty fundamentalist Christians whose hatred of gays is ironically unChristian have no right to tell me what movies I watch over the internet in my own home. It's unAmerican, dammit!!."
It's so much fun I'm going to copyright the technique and start a political campaign management company.
