Accusing your opponent of exactly the things you know you're guilty of is a tactic perfected by Karl Rove during the Bush years and which the right has picked up and been using to great effect ever since. When you're talking specifically about intolerance, it's extremely effective precisely because the one thing liberals ought to be intolerant of is intolerance. Since they would otherwise defend freedom of speech, when they agitate against hate speech it's pretty easy to paint them as hypocrites. They aren't hypocrites, of course, but the defense against the accusation is rather nuanced (and worse, invokes a slippery-slope argument) so of course it doesn't work well in the court of public opinion. Fuckers like Milo are exploiting this and the left is only starting to craft an effective response.
