The harm from labeling is that the public is horribly informed and will stop buying a safe product and force more farmers to move into less efficient and worse types of farming, more tilling and the like.
Of course its not exclusively left wing, but I'd say the majority of the noise is coming from the left at least in North America, in EU its more of a both sides hate GMO, again badly informed public there as well.

I don't think you can safely say there is nothing to worry about. All you can say is that the current products that have been studied have proven safe so far.
Your argument for not labelling (people are too dumb to know what's good for them, so we won't tell them) just doesn't fly.
