Not really, because not everyone that one disagrees with is an asshole.

Which is what the term "shoot the messenger" illustrates:  it describes 
a hypocritical reaction to receiving news that one didn't like.  Even 
though the messenger isn't responsible for what the news was:  shooting 
the messenger is a very poor means of coping with being informed of the 
reality which one did not like.

Nevertheless, point taken: reality includes that there's some people who 
insist on being assholes, too.  Fortunately, most people can separate 
the message from the messenger.
