"Anyone who attacks Ann Coulter is not a conservative. They might say they are but they aren't." Okay, so now the litmus test for a 'true' conservative is that they can't condemn ad hominem attacks? I guess Reagan isn't a conservative because I don't recall him ever sinking to the level of personal attacks.

You didn't get the point at all. I thought liberals were the only ones that needed things like this spelled out for them.
The issue is how fast the conservatives jump to apologize when liberals demand apologies. However, the term "apologize" is not in a liberal's dictionary even though they know how to pull it up when demanding it of conservatives.
When did you ever hear Reagan apologize for something someone else said? What is your definition of "free speech"? There is a conservative definition and then there is a liberal definition. Stating your definition will tell me whether you are a liberal or a conservative. However, I think I already know.
