Rectenwald responded:

The illiberal left revealing its utter ugliness & hypocrisy. Is this how they treat everyone who appears on @FoxNews. Stalinist wannabes. — Michael Rectenwald (@antipcnyuprof) February 22, 2017

Later Rectenwald posted on the vile attacks on Facebook.



Rectenwald wrote:

I don’t want to reproduce the putrid and vile character of this attack, but I will say this: Today’s “Left” is rife with the most obscene, abusive, nasty, spiritually ugly and utterly unethical, hypocritical and fanatically horrible people I’ve ever encountered in my 58 years on earth. When I was a left-liberal activist and founder of Citizens for Legitimate Government after the first GWB Bush “election,” I routinely received hate email from right-wingers. They were routinely mean-spirited. But now that I am a critic of the Left, nothing from the past comes close to the kind of personal invective, baseless insults, vilely degrading language and imagery that I was barraged with from these Leftists — and all because I critiqued an IDEOLOGY and its mechanisms, and critiqued the hypocrisy of today’s illiberal leftists. The Left has utterly and completely lost its way and I no longer want anything to do with it.
