I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt, until they're dishonest. I can completely disagree with someone, but as long as they're honest, we can communicate. And as long as we can communicate, we can both learn something. If there is dishonesty, what is the point in trying to communicate? You'll most likely get nowhere.
Where it gets complicated is when that person is controlled by an ideology. Ideology literally distorts both perceptions and thought processes, so on a surface level, a person may truly believe what they're saying. I do believe though, that at some level, a healthy person knows when they're being intellectually dishonest.

I'm not upset that you lied to me; I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
