The GOP and the Dems are both left ...... the Libertarian party is on the right both in the poltical spectrum and their stance on free speech

If you're pushing both parties to the left now, you're missing the point. The idea of a political spectrum enclosed by the ideals of "Right" and "Left" is a construct. It has been used to manipulate and misdirect the people for decades, and so long as you keep using their words and working in their terms, you will never get anything done.
Just call them what they are: Garbage.

Attack on free speech is a leftist tactic. Witness the PC craze.

Gotta keep clinging to our own little narratives, don't we?

Were you around during the Bush administration? Because that was when the idea of "Free Speech Zones" were dramatically "enhanced" to the point that if you wanted to protest something you had to stand in a cage miles away from the event. All done by a right-wing conservative administration.
So again, I say, this is a political strategy used by all sides, not just left/right.

And the Commie scares back during the Cold War were, what - hippies?
Anybody whose hold on power can be unseated via argument is going to try and shut down that argument.
