Liberals will fall all over themselves to vilify the left, because only the left actually outright challenges their worldview. Liberals can live with the rightwinger worldview, because it frames reality in basically the same way as liberals. That makes it simple -- as long as you agree on the essential frame, it's no big whoop to argue about particular details and tactics within that frame.
But leftists argue against the very frame itself. And it drives liberals nuts.
