I've noticed that as well, and it really can turn people off. Of course, a problem here is that there truly are some very gullible people out here, and I've mentioned this repeatedly through my career as a debater. The so-called "9-11 skeptics" are among the worst in this regard. I've honestly seen more open-mindedness from Klan sympathizers than from some of these people (in high school, I actually knew some young racists, unfortunately).
At the same time, we shouldn't instantly dismiss everything people with this attitude say. that may be why they are so bullheaded in the first place. That being said, I usually crack a smile when people say "Sheeple." It never ceases to be a clever expression, at least in my opinion.
