I rarely encounter any of that stuff. I'm a liberal. My friends and family are liberal. I hang out on sites that are mainly frequented by other liberals. Where I do come across right-wing xenophobia (in Globe and Mail comments, for example), I don't hesitate to call it out. I call out dogmatic idiocy wherever I see it, and I happen to come across a lot more left-wing idiocy. It's also pretty clear to me that the cultural right is in retreat, while their counterparts on the left are in the ascendency, and starting to take on many of the same oppressive and intolerant traits of their opponents.
