The difference between Koch and Buffet is one is supposed to be the subject of this thread, and the other was brought up to distract the topic of discussion.
What conservatives do is make sweeping, inaccurate statements about liberals that are merely projection.Then there's the weaker form of the same argument. "You guys are just as bad". We can tally up the sides here on the big bad guys that do character assassination, but with Coulter, Limbaugh, and Hannity alone you would win hands down, never mind just about all of AM radio. The cajones you display to try and even make such a hypocritical observation boggles the mind.
Was there a discussion to be had here or should we all just start throwing feces?
I don't read Ann Coulter so I can't say much about her. What little I have heard doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But Limbaugh mostly makes fun of liberals, and he's pretty good at it. But both he and Hannity concentrate largely on policies and issues. Where are the personal attacks? They might call Obama a liar, but that's not hard to prove. It's pretty easy to prove against just about any politician. But when they say that Obama's policies intended to help poor people will actually hurt they, they don't say that is Obama's intent to hurt poor people, they just say that he is wrong.
On the other hand, liberals are constantly accusing their opponents of being anti-woman, or racist, or homophobes who hate gay people. Check out these very boards and see how many times Republicans or conservatives have been accused of "hate." That one word alone is abundant. So did Obama "hate" gay people when he opposed gay marriage? Did Bill Clinton hate gay people when he supported DOMA? Is Obama a sexist since women on the White House staff get paid less, on average, than the men do? The double standard here egregious, and the purpose is obvious. It is not to win the debate on issues, it is to avoid that debate altogether.
