Why liberals always deny conservatives’ good faith

Why do left-liberal editorialists and politicians attack every conservative position as an expression of hatred or fear or of some other negative emotion; or as a dishonest cover for some dark ulterior motive; but never simply as an opinion that the liberals think is a wrong opinion? The surprising answer, I suggested in an October 2004 blog entry, is that liberals think all opinions are equally valid.
