Why not? If X isn't an argument for Y, there isn't much "why not", it just isn't. There may be an argument in the show your recommended, but if so you failed to extract and present that argument in your post. All you said about it was - "He totally disagreed with Obama's support of the filibuster during Alito's confirmation. He went onto say that Obama should not be surprised if his nominee is filibustered." There is nothing about that statement that implies - "liberals tend to be more fair, because they respect logic". Did you watch the show I mentioned? Its not like I'm short of TV shows, or even TV show recommendations from others to watch. If you think I should watch the show give me a good reason. Perhaps if you could present a relevant argument from it, and that argument seems interesting enough, I'd look for the show. Paul Begala is a liberal and he blasted Obama for not being logical in that he said one thing as a Senator and and now as President expects something that is just the opposite of what he said. That's one example of one liberal blasting another. And your statement doesn't even show that this blasting had anything to do with respecting logic or being fair. Even if we assume it was fair and logical (and we have no good reason to make that assumption, it provides almost zero data on liberals in general, and even less about conservatives. It just doesn't lead to or support your conclusion.
