the world is a random and chaotic place where a single, unexceptional person can throw the world off its axis. People don't like thinking that their enemies have value, or that their enemies' victories are legitimate (whether we're talking about birthers or the 2004 Ohio CTs). People don't like thinking that their allies or their ideologies can cause evil. I don't think that any one of these is particularly noble or particularly evil; I can think of harmless and dangerous examples for each.
