Ah, the classic "us vs. them", "if you're not with us you're with the 
terrorists" ploy.  It plays well to a group of insecure patriots to 
rally them into suppressing dissent, but is not particularly 
appropriate for a community that's supposed to be open to 
participation from a diverse global community, and is supposed to be 
fighting against its various systemic biases rather than encouraging 
them.
