That's not an argument, it's not even contradiction, the validity of the theory of Evolution has nothing to do with who belives it. the other argument was that a beliefe in Evolution negates the possibility of a God. Not so, I belive Evolution is the prosess God set up to produce us.

First off, you're making rather broad assumptions here. You assume that, from your few examples of creationists, that all of them think and behave just as you've seen the others. This is not a good way to feel about anything, and it has caused many countries many problems. Most of us creationists are very normal people. We're not all wacky zealots who say you'll go to Hell for wearing pants.
You left the class early because of the video, which seemed to have some faults (the Karl Marx thing). Maybe, if you had stayed behind, you could have been part of a rational discussion or debate.
About what Creationists "always" do, again, broad assumptions based on what seems to be a limited view, as far as I can tell from your post. Same with Evolutionists. Most Creationists I know love a good, reasonable debate over their beliefs and the whole Evolution vs. Creation theme. I've met many Evolutionists who are the complete opposite of what you've said, and I've also met many who were just like you said. I've never met ANY Creationist who has tried making their arguments by, as you put it, "character assassination, guilt by association, or just saying that thinking is bad and we need more blind obedience with out questions or independent thought." From what I've seen in numerous debates over this topic, Creationists have done just the opposite: prepared ahead of time, known their material, and shown scientific evidence that supports, suggests, or can go along with their beliefs. Same with Evolutionists.
Don't assume we're all the same. That kind of prejudice will get people pretty dang mad.
