I get it. This is aimed at left-wing people who think their side can do no evil and thus proceed to censor any disagreement. But it's still funny to me that this whole thing needs to be preceded with 'the right is bad, but believe it or not, people on the left might do some bad things too', as if any side has a monopoly on virtue and goodness.

I agree that it looks funny here. But I think it's more of a strategic thing: it reveals the target audience they're addressing, and trying to show "hey, we're one of you" before saying anything more controversial that follows (that it's at all controversial is more sad than funny however).
