While politics has always been an easy source for quick debate, today's medium makes it worse. It's far easier to have a civilized debate face to face. You can counterpoint and dissolve any miscommunications quickly and easily. Online when people read something, there is enough time for them to draw their own conclusions on it and stew before responding. Thus their mind has already been made up even if the original point was misinterpreted. Much harder to go back and clarify when that has happened.
