5. I don't know
I think the problem is that the left has a conscious and feels shame. The right knows this and so uses it against us. So when Daily Kos made his unfortunate comments (I agree with the sentiment, but he expressed himself poorly), we all feel shamed by our association with him. The right picks up on that and tries to divide us by calling on us to reject him. "If you are decent human being you have to condemn Kos, because God knows no decent liberal would ever misspeak like that."

The right unfortunately feels no shame, so when you try to hold the words of Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh or Cal Thomas or Dennis Prager against them, they just laugh it off.

Oh well, better to keep one's soul than gain the whole world or so the old saying goes.
