Actually, I think the Left's Authoritarian tactic of trying to control speech is pushing more out of their base, than into it.  They seem utterly oblivious to the fact that shutting down the debate, is not the same as stopping thoughts.

The conflict of the hyper-politically correct left and bigoted right fringes always bemuses me, because neither seems to admit how blind they are to everyone else. Each has this need to be heard and fear of being ignored and suppressed, but their acerbic and combatative natures only lead their fears being realized. One side wants to address everything with kid gloves; the other side wants to address everything with boxing gloves.

Pretty much, and both sides are willing to violate (if given the opportunity) basic civil liberties in order to achieve their goals.
