being friends with someone who disagreed with me politically in a sane and lucid and rational manner (in the same way that Henry Fonda(big liberal) and Jimmy Stewart (big conservative) were very good friends.

Of course, they stayed good friends because they agreed not to discuss politics, since when they did it resulted in a fist fight. But I am most certainly sure that Jimmy Stewart wasn't any kind of crazy like your apparent "friend" is.
I am sorry, but what your "friend" is spewing is outright misguided, blind, stupid hatred and fear mongering, not sane political differences. That's just the way I feel.
