liberals who might want to make Ann Coulter's "Slander" argument about Conservatives

Calling a Conservative an idiot as a part of "news reporting" is very different from calling a Liberal an idiot as a part of a discussion among Conservatives.

My reading of Coulter's core argument is that liberals use name-calling and ad hominem instead of logical argument. Calling someone an idiot, whatever the forum, simply because he disagrees, only makes conservatives seem as incapable of logical argument as liberals often are, especially when liberals use poor logic and inaccurate data.
