Re-read my posts then and you'll see that I both mentioned various groups (not only lefties) as well as the fact that I find the labels themselves unsatisfactory.
I'm not painting anyone with a single brush anymore than they have painted themselves no matter how diseparate the beliefs of the various scuffy crowds that inhabit the core. If people self identify as such then I've got the right to identify them as a whole as well.
Personally, like I said, I don't think most of the vocal few are really "left" so to speak or are often even bright enough to know what that really means but one way or another if you call yourself something then others can too.
