You can't take issue with them, you must simply accept them. Once you understand that it will go much easier for you.

You realize, that by that logic, it means that if you oppose the war, you open yourself up to being called naive, impractical, uneducated, decieved, a passive supporter of tyrrany, or any other number of negative characterizations? Further, using the same logic, you have closed your own doors of taking issue with them; you have volunteered to remain silent.
Of course, that all assumes that you don't hold to a double standard.... Geo's post was one of sarcasm aimed at those that refuse to see any point of view other than their own (such as Rex). People that don't think as they do can be labeled as idiots and such. But those same people can't label the first group as idiots because there is no possibility of the first group being in the wrong. They are absolutely right, so any criticism of them must be wrong. At least, that is the attitude some people here and many people elsewhere have displayed.
