I did not see it as an article equating the open racism of Spencer and the Confederate flag wavers with liberals. The telling line for me was where he expressed frustration, not at the protests, but at the people patting themselves on the back for "fighting racism" by protesting the Confederate monuments, while simultaneously calling the cops just because a black man is riding a tractor or walking up to a door in a rich neighborhood.
I'd prefer to confront a loud mouthed racist head on than to think that my neighbors might suspect me for any thefts in the area because I am brown. You can tell a loud mouth to shut up, but how do you confront your neighbors for calling the police on you because they don't recognize you as belonging in your home?
