Respect

I thought this Washington Post opinion piece was pretty interesting.

First of all, it's important to study the tactics of your opponent. Second, it's important to respect your opponent. You see both of those elements here.

Take this passage:

The lesson for GOP midterm hopefuls: Welcome the president to your state. Stage counter-rallies and highlight doubts about his policies, but do not attack him personally. Show respect for the man and the office, but shine a bright light on your substantive differences.

Here's my point: I've seen a lot of "holier than thou" nonsense from progressive bloggers in the last year. It's not convincing, and I think the word "respect" is the key. Maybe if you guys showed a little respect?
