Probably, but I've just got sketchy memories of what people say, which seems to mostly be people on the left getting sick of hearing right wing views. I know more people on the left, so there might be just as much of the converse.

Personally, I've got a friend who doesn't want me to defend rightwingers to her, and the friendship is worth enough to me that I'm not going to nag her about rightwingers being human, too. She can figure it out on her own-- or not-- without my help.
