Every Disaffinity Has the Right to Freedom-From-Aggression...

...but the left and the moderate right do not acknowledge this.
The left especially, is not about to acknowledge any such rights, since that would mean giving up their best rhetorical trick. The way it works, is to choose issues so as to allow for attempted smearing of opponents, as being motivated solely by hatred against some group which is easy to hate or look down on. If, after more than forty years of this, the right still does not know that it is then necessary to point out that attempted smearing is being used, in the place of a rational argument, that same smearing method will be used over and over.
