Have you ever noticed that that phrase "I may not agree with you, but I'll defend your right to say it to the death!" (heard it a lot after the 2003 Iraq Invasion) is almost universally applied from Right to Left and almost never the other way around? That to me is a great indicator for which side is much more authoritarian.

People on the left strenuously objected to the invasion of Iraq as a criminal waste of human life, and for commentators on the right to say they were defending freedom (including the freedom to criticise their ongoing war) was a specious argument, to put it mildly.
