That is what I thought your point was, and it is legit. I realize there is a lack of political correctness in my name calling. The destinction that I draw is that I try to only do it in reponse to name calling. Example:

Someone says Bush is a criminal and a liar and offers no proof, I will say that person is an a**hole. I will admit to being prejudiced against such people.

Someone says they think Bush is wrong about (pick a topic), and I will argue the point. I like to debate. Its fun, and you can learn from it.

This may sound a bit hollow, but I agree with Coulter that liberals do this much more than repubs. Its a way of life for them, and why political correctness was invented imo. You can only slam rich white guys now ;-)

Another tactic is to charge opponents with the tactics that the accuser is using. Blame them first and often. Things like chanting the press is liberal for example, when in fact it is general run by ultra conservatives like Murdock (not you I hope) or Moon. Another was accusing Clinton over and over of trumping up charges against others when it was the other way round. Coulter's charges of name calling fit this pattern perfectly.
