In other words, if now I say you are a **** who speak (@*&$!, I'm just stating my opinion? Nah, I don't think so.
How is a cartoonist or a commentator different from a politician?
Imagine a dirty joke. If it's used toward a friend, it's normal. If it's used toward a stranger, it's mostly offensive. Yet why doesn't the stranger understand it the way the close friend does? Is that stranger wrong? Not really. Things can be looked at in many ways, and may they all be correct.
But because things can be seen in many ways, we mustn't resort to extreme methods till we have definite, conclusive evidences, and the negative consequences are plain and obvious.
However, extremists are often self-centered people who tend to think too much and bent others' words in the most adverse ways. And that's when we call them extremists.
