While you're of course correct, I think looking at the left's targets and judging them by how left or right-leaning they are, is often misleading.
It's not that they assign scores to people based on how "evil" they and then pick the top offenders. They don't even know most of these people and couldn't be fucked to research them. They just know little tidbits like "this person once said that thing!" and that's all they want or care to know about them, since it's already enough motivation to want to destroy their life.

True enough, but they never fail to level their unique types of accusations at people - wacist, Nazi, etc.
Glenn Greenwald is a homophobic Nazi.
Jesse Singal is a white supremacist Nazi.
Thomas Sowell hates black people.
