If someone uses tactics that are the same dishonest and irrational tactics that have been identified in other groups then the comparison is valid.

There'll always be ideologically driven people on any side of any issue. Reality however isn't influenced by any ideology, so no matter how many people say the sun revolves around the earth based on ideology, honest inquiry will eventually lead to a better conclusion.
But this is an interesting point about ideology.. you've put forward a paper by Dr. Spencer as an authoritative statement about the issue of AGW.
How did you determine that paper had more merit than the other papers?
