I have to say that "reich wing" makes me tune out as well. However, I think you can go too far in the other direction, into a false equivalency where everyone is at fault and nobody is responsible. Just saying. There must be some middle ground between "those so and so's (did whatever)", countered by "your guys do it too" vs "we are all at fault for allowing this."
For example, (checking subject line) I don't feel particularly responsible for the death of Trayvon Martin. I do have an opinion about it, which I have expressed, and a current position, which is that Bill Cosby is talking some sense. Some of the stuff I am filtering out seems pretty offensive, based on what I am seeing quoted in answers, but I've essentially disengaged. I have no power over whether justice will be done. I am not sure what justice is. I am waiting to see how this unfolds.
