Liberals believe your civil rights end when they don’t like you!

I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. The media has lost its collective mind. Mass insanity reigns.CBS This Morning opened with their senior journalist Steven Colbert and followed up with legendary reporter Jimmy Kimmel, all in ridiculing Donald Trump.  The media has a full court press on for Trump and is utterly ignoring ethics, principle and the Constitution.
Let's look at Trump's initial reaction to Charlottesville, for which he was widely derided:
"But we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Va.. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. It's been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America. What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society. And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time."I just got off the phone with the governor of Virginia, Terry Mcauliffe, and we agree that the hate and the division must stop, and must stop right now. We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation and true -- really, I say this so strongly, true affection for each other."
I am not seeing much wrong with it. But that wasn't enough. Trump did not express the pure hate the left demanded. So they've decided to rain hatred down on him.
CBS News (again) ran an analysis. It determined that the two sides were not "equal." Trump never said they were.
ABC News posts:
Trump blames counter-protesters for Charlottesville violence, hundreds protest in Loop
It's a lie. An outright lie.
CNN, home of fake news, ran article citing the most shocking things coming from Trump's conference.
2. On whether the attack that killed Heather Heyer in Charlottesville was 'terrorism'
Ever see CNN get this bent when obama wouldn't call killing 4 Marines and a sailor terrorism?
5. On how he viewed the weekend violence and who was responsible
Both sides bear responsibility. Who forced the counter protesters to get in the faces of the supremacists? Trump?
7. Echoing the right-wing argument against removing Confederate monuments
Trump asked- where does it stop? It is a fair question.
9. On who was to blame for the violence
Both sides bear responsibility. That is not in question. All these were found "shocking" by CNN without even attempting to include facts because it would interfere with the narrative. For a smattering of perspectives, you can read this article.
The Charlottesville police chief proved himself to be a fool  when defended his actions- or rather, his lack of action.
The most disturbing thing I've run into over the last couple of days is the willingness of the left to suspend the civil rights of those they find repugnant. I've been called a racist and a supporter of the Neo-Nazis- all the things you'd expect from the left- all because the one thing I support is the Constitution.
I am a Constitutionalist. I am principled. I was trying to debate this with liberals today. This is how it went down today:
Me: Do you agree that this violence could have been avoided if the two sides were kept separate?
Them: You're a racist.
Me: Unite the Right had been given permission to hold a rally in Emancipation Park. The counter protesters did not.
Them: You're a racist.
Them: Funny John, even in that photo seems one side is the clear aggressor and armed, the other just looking to keep from getting beaten.
Me:  If they're looking to keep from being beaten, WTF are they there getting in the faces of the supremacists?
Them: John... I usually don't ask people this straight out.... but are you a racist?
