Do you understand why it is titled "Right Wing Extremist Thread". It's because, according to some liberals, if one conservative AT ALL, one is a Right Wing Extremist. That one definitely cuts both ways. I can't count the number of types I've been branded a raving demolib Klintonista for espousing essentially libertarian positions. Just the other day I was accused of being a Democrat, though I have never in my life considered joining any political party. In some circles on SI, failure to worship at the shrine of St. Ronnie is considered presumptive evidence of being at least a tree-hugging liberal, more likely an outright socialist. As I've said before, the whole idea of attacking, generalizing about, or attempting to argue with "liberals" or "conservatives" as a group is pretty futile, since no consensus definition exists for either term, and many people who hold liberal opinions on one issue hold conservative opinions on others. Discussing issues is a good deal more rewarding and a great deal less likely to offend than attacking either individuals or undefined groups.
