Dismissive Denigration Has Become a Transparent Tactic
NBC's David Shuster - "...tea party faithful who defend Rush. They are not the most literate, articulate, or thoughtful bunch... but that's okay." Shuster manages to insult outspoken conservatives AND patronize them by allowing them ("that's okay") to be deficient.
Sally Quinn (Washington Post writer) on The O'Reilly Factor - "First of all, Scott Brown is a hunk (my italics). And, I think that the fact that he posed semi-nude in a magazine gave him a huge advantage in terms of public recognition." Quinn dismisses Brown's success on the grounds that he is attractive.
David Letterman - He developed a Top 10 list on Sarah Palin for his late night show. Among the "jokes" in his list was a comment about how she had achieved the "Slutty Flight Attendant look."
When you can't attack on substance, go for ad hominem. Seems to be the way of the liberals.
