Fake humbleness might be better than no humbleness. But I'd actually recommend a degree of genuine humbleness. If you're not open to the possibility that the policies you support are the crazy ones and the people who you disagree with are right then I wouldn't want you discussing politics on Less Wrong either. If you want to discuss politics just so you can correct the views of others, that sounds really terrible.

Doesn't that strongly imply that everyone on Less Wrong thinks on some level that Republicans are crazy?

I think it strongly implies everyone on Less Wrong has a decent model of the average European's politics and common political rhetoric in general.
