People that demand their Constitutional right to bear arms are derided by some as “gun nuts”.

People that demand their Constitutional right to a natural born President are derided by some as “birthers”.

Anyone that derides someone for claiming their God given Constitutional rights is a disgusting, Constitution hating, liberal.

Framing a threat with a negative label is a very effective way to counter the threat and shut it down.

For example, the labeling success of "McCarthyism" shut down McCarthy's corrective feedback at a critical time. That success eventually lead US here.

"Bircher" is another example. The list is long, but not very distinguished.
