No, but that’s INCIDENTAL agreement, not CAUSAL agreement. The neonazis love Finkelstein BECAUSE of what he writes about Jews; it’s evidence of how hate-filled Finkelstein’s writings are. The KKK and conservative Massachusetts voters both dislike gay marriage, but that’s just incidental to both groups.

Assumes facts not in evidence.

In the former case you claim that bad people's support for position X proves the badness of position X, yet in the latter case you deny it. Tossing around terminology doesn't erase that contradiction.
