Well, folks might think that a vicious online attack campaign against a left-wing feminist writer would be launched by the evil conservative right-wing.
See: "Online Harassment Against Feminist Blogger Anita Sarkeesian."
Apparently Helen Lewis of the New Statesman indicates that the 4Chan hackers might be involved in the attacks on Sakeesian --- and I remember distinctly how advocates for 4Chan claimed the group's activists have no ideological motivation to their attacks. I argued in contrast that the troll-hacker types were anarchist and inherently leftist. I'm not saying much more than that here. Simply that until we see some folks on the left getting SWAT-ted like Patterico and the others, I'll continue the hold that it's the left that's mounting the prominent campaign of online intimidation to silence speech.
But check it out at the link.

I have said, and will continue to say, that the free speech movement is purely about repressing speech they do not approve; that there are none so intolerant of anything they disagree with as the tolerant left; none so hatefilled as the loving left; nobody as dangerous as the peace loving left. They will bring the full might and lahs of the state to ensure that you SUBMIT and OBEY! Hail the Leader! Hail The One! I love Big Brother! Hail O!
