Ehhhh, your point has validity, but at the same time, I can't say I see hyper-progressives as unwitting victims of caricature by the right in this instance. As a percentage of universities around North America, the number of incidents may be minimal, but when they do happen, they pretty much always flows one way. I certainly wont argue false equivalence, but academia is one arena that presents evidence in support of Cliff's argument.
