Why are shias always on the offense in the Shia/Sunni debacle?

I'm shia myself.

But, one thing I've noticed about other shia muslims is that it's always shias who go around and curse Omar and Aisha, calling them all sorts of ugly things. Now, I personally don't have an opinion on Omar and Aisha. Not gonna comment on how they were.

However, why are shias always going around needlessly offending sunnis by slandering Omar and Aisha? Because on the other side of the coin, I have yet to see an example of Sunnis slandering Imam Ali or Hussein. In fact, these 2 are revered and admired by sunnis.

I'm not saying that you have to like Omar or Aisha. But why do we have to needlessly slander them and offend our sunni brothers and sisters? I kinda feel like that it's our side that's always on the offense. Yes, we should take valuable lessons from history.

But I see many shias who are stuck in time 1400 years ago and still cares about events that happened 1400 years ago. You don't like Aisha, fine. But when you slander Aisha and say bad things about her, you are no different than the non-muslim racists that slander Islam. I never see any sunnis who slanders our historical figures. I don't see us going around trying to offend buddhists, christians or other religions. But some shias go out of their way to slander sunnis and their historical figures
