So if I understand the writer correctly, he thinks "non-leftist" ideas include things that would be prosecuted as hate crimes- basically violence which is motivated by hate because of the vicitim's racial, religious, or sexual orientation.

It's fascinating that this author thinks those violent few who would be prosecuted for hate crimes would be "non-leftists". :-) Kind of a complement really, Suma. That man has basically just indicted his whole peer group. With friends like him, the right really doesn't need enemies. You see before you, in this article, the reason why the "non-leftist" base is shrinking like a snowcone in July.

"
So now we have a word for Democrats' eye-popping hypocrisy when they wrap themselves in the mantle of free speech while simultaneously attempting to suppress non-Leftist ideas."

Thank you, thank you for saying so clearly that hate speech isn't coming from the left :-) I'm not sure that's TRUE (since I think there's hate speech on both fringes)- but my, what a nice thing to say.
