Most of the time on the LoT, generalizations about the right are accepted as logical and even self evident, so they go as accepted or unchallanged, such as calling anyone who thing McCain is different than Bush "delusional". Generalizations made about the left, no matter how logical I might think they are, are often/usually/frequently called out as being generalizations and therefore ruled out summarily.
Generalizations are generalizations, no matter how they are arrived at. Some are treated differently than others depending on the point of view and thought of the masses around here. This is all I am saying.

Well, generally speaking- the LoT is comprised of a motley crew, but it seems most tend toward liberal policy as opposed to conservative. You can make the same sorts of comments, just no personal attacks. Or, we could all just forget about discussing politics in general. It's not the same to call someone's viewpoint delusional, especially if a decent rebuttal is provided, as opposed to calling someone "the most condescending and arrogant poster here". I really don't get why you don't get that, but when a person has to resort to personal attacks any discussion is over and Rove Syndrome has set in. Really, if I were to post at a conservative leaning website I would probably be torn to shreds.
