When journalists are imprisoned in China, and more often now than in years past, the New York Times is silent. When North Korean prisons never release prisoners, just beat them to death when the guards are bored, liberal groups are silent (a few good purely humanitarian ones have spoken out, though). When Canada's native Indians are subject to harsh discrimination, almost all American groups are silent. The list practically goes on forever. Then again, democrats can probably make a half-decent one for the right wing, as well. Both sides are guilty of ignorance, whether intentional or otherwise.
