> [@obbn](#): > > But once again, you seem to totally brush over actions by the Left when it comes to poking fun at Conservatives. Would you not agree that many things said about Bush and Palin were also juvenile? That comments directed their way were done in “poor judgement” and “lacked compassion”? Or, is it okay to be hypocritical because it is only Conservatives that are being made fun of? Humor on both sides has become over the top, but to try and point the finger at one group while doing the exact same (not necessarily you, but the Left as a whole) is terribly hypocritical. It’s not hypocritical, it’s earned. Bush and Palin are genuinely stupid, genuinely evil, and especially in the case of Bush have caused immense harm. They deserve nothing but hatred and contempt, earned by their personalities and actions. That’s not the same as sneering at someone just because they are poor or sick or homosexual or female. The Republicans condemn and mock people for things are are outright lies; we have a recent example of Limbaugh doing just that, mocking a woman who lost an ovary as a “slut”. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/liberals-funny-conservatives-mean/615294)._
