Liberals are only liberal when it comes to their party and possible votes. They would be fine with illegals voting, having drivers licenses, and free health care. So, I find it not at all surprising when they attack a conservative that might have questionable credentials. They are very/very detailed about qualifications when it comes to conservatives, but very "liberal" when it comes to anyone that might be a potential vote or member representing their ideology. They literally define the term "hypocrite."
