You can see this phenomenon on this blog on a regular basis. If I say
Iran has a legitimate economic reason for building nuclear reactors,
because experts agree Iran is running out of oil, it will be
interpreted as anti-semetic. If I say the evidence for evolution that
is available to me personally, as a non-expert, looks sketchy, it is
interpreted as an argument for creationism.

In summary, if you ever plan to use the phrase "on the other hand," be
sure to wear your Kevlar underpants.
