Serious question, has anyone else noticed free speech groups only show up for right-wing speakers?

I've been tracking campus events at my local university here in Madison for about 6 months now. Out of 12 invited speakers that got protest attention, 11 were conservative and only 1 was liberal. That seems way off balance to me. Is free speech really only under threat from one side or are we just not paying attention the other way?

Didn't that Milo guy speak there like three years ago and nobody really cared?

Had a buddy who went to a left-leaning speaker event at a community college in Portland, and the protest outside was basically three people with signs and a guy selling nachos. It makes you wonder if @jordancoleman's right that nobody really cares unless it's a controversial figure like Milo.
