I suggest a different interpretation that doesn't make you a hypocrite and allows you a clear conscience.
Treat your enemy as they would treat you. If your ideological enemy abandons fairness, integrity, honesty, or humanity in how they treat you, then they also abandon any expectation of being treated with those principles when roles are reversed. You can't honour the dishonourable. Maintain your principles for dealing with the intellectually honest and sincere.

No bad tactics, only bad targets.

Fuck that.
The least tolerant faction wins.
The left operates by "no bad tactics, only bad targets."
And they win.
Do you want to win?
