So often I hear this. Joe points to Sam's actions and calls it wrong, Bob says Joe is fearful and/or doesn't understand Sam. Is it not possible to have a complete understanding of an issue and still call it wrong?? Where do we get this idea that people are fearful of what they call wrong?? It makes no sense to me.

Because it puts the blame on to the person who thinks it wrong. If Joe calls Sam's actions wrong - Sam is to blame for his action. But, if Joe is only calling it wrong because he is afraid of something new/unknown, the blame is on Joe for being uneducated.
This is how liberals work :o)

It depends on Joe's attitude and the issue. If they are arguing about which car color is best, Bob is unlikely to say Joe is fearful of the color orange. If they are arguing about homosexuality, and Joe refuses to hear any opposing rationale, Bob is likely to think Joe is scared. Or a closet gay.
