Hardly, it's just that the left are bigger hypocrites because free-speech is ostensibly a core tenant of liberalism, however, conservative ideology rejected free-speech as a value long ago. The only reason these liberal anti-speech protests make the news is because colleges invite speakers to their campuses. Imagine how conservatives would react if Richard Dawkins or Bill Maher tried to give a speech in a Christian church? Imagine the reaction if liberal thinkers spoke up during church sermons to exclaim that scientific evidence conflicts with many contemporary religious ideas. This never happens because they're never invited or welcome to do so, thus conservatives are able to relish the comfort of their safe-spaces while lambasting liberals for protesting openly antagonistic speakers like Ann Coulter on college campuses.

It's a well established fact that conservatives are, at a minimum, just as guilty of hostility to ideas they don't like as liberals.

Consider Megyn Kelly, a celebrated conservative journalist whose career was completely destroyed simply because she asked Trump some tough questions.

Consider Tomi Lahren who was a cherished conservative icon until she came out in support of abortion based on her conservative principles of individual freedom... following that expression of free speech she was squeezed out of her job and destroyed in the conservative press.

Consider Gretchen Carlson who was humiliated and dragged through the mud in conservative circles after she spoke out about her own experiences with sexual harassment in the workplace.

Consider John McCain who is regularly blasted as a RINO because he occasionally takes an action that is not in complete lockstep with the party line.

Consider Glenn Beck who was on the receiving end of boycotts and death threats because early on, he spoke out against Trump in favor of the eminently conservative Ted Cruz!

Consider Ted Cruz himself who was literally booed off stage during the RNC because he dared to instruct the audience to "vote with your conscience" instead of blindly praising Trump.

The list goes on and on, so I have to reject your assertion that "suppressing free speech is 90% leftist" as utter ignorance.

Didn't a republican congressman literally commit a violent assault on a reporter, and then win accolades by the right and get rewarded for it? Do you believe violent assaults chill free speech?

This comment is highly opinionated and only further contributes to the left/right rhetoric.

Oh please. Take a look at the constant right-wing rhetoric around banning flag burning, shutting down "unpatriotic" speech, or regulating the free press. And remember that one of Trump's big promises was "opening up libel laws"[1].

Edit: Also who could forget the brouhaha around the Dixie Chicks after they said something bad about George W. Bush [2]. That incident foreshadowed the kind of tactics that are common on the left now.
