There are some tools to help with this, of course. I know I pulled that one with a discussion on slavery in the Bible, and the guy claiming "it doesn't really endorse slavery because it's a different kind of slavery" shut the fuck up pretty sharpish after that.
But speaking of the hard green and politics stuff, there is the episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit! on Greenpeace (IIRC, of course) where someone actually asked a Greenpeac protester about GM foods. Even if you haven't seen it, you'll be unsurprised to hear it was derailed to "capitalist corporations are evil" in about 3 seconds flat.
P&T themselves are a great example of this as well on environmental episodes.
