If Tom had said "the left" instead of the "cultural left" I would agree with you.
If you said "all you conservatives are just like Pat Robertson" it would tick me off but saying Robertson is representative of the "religious right" it would bother me not.
If I understand the term "cultural left" it identifies a specific group of lefties consisting solely of academics and artist types. Yes, he used the term mainstream but it was mainstream entertainer not liberal or left.
If you want to identify Bruce Willis or Rush Limbaugh as representing the "cultural right" as mainstream entertainers it doesn't bother me a bit because while I may agree with something they say from time to time, I disagree often enough to keep my individuality and I don't feel threatened.
I am on the right but the only sub-category I might feel affinity for is the popular right and I get to pick the membership.
