Well, I'm not so sure about that one. Most of my friends are leftwing Christians, so I know whom I'm speaking about. They don't know their Bible, but they do know some favorite phrases out of it. "Give away all your money" is one, and "pounding swords into plowshares" gives them a thrill up their legs. "Turn the other cheek" always means conservatives should lie down like carpets and let leftists walk on them. Yes, ALL Biblical rules are meant to apply to non-"us" people. I don't know a single leftist who has given away all their money, though I could name a few who live simply; meanwhile this verse is used to slam any Christian who disagrees with the leftist and hasn't given away all their money.
"Blessed are the meek" is another phrase much beloved by these least meek people on earth, but when they want YOU to take a beating, they whip this out with a readiness that's hard to believe.
Oh, well, holding a double standard isn't new to The Left. They have always been ready to criticize conservatives for the very same acts that they themselves commit. Look at the way they smear ANY conservative who would dare to say something personal about any democrat, yet they themselves will do much much worse. I'd give examples but they're too numerous to mention and I'm tired right now.
