Liberals have no qualms about calling out their own politicians and often have much higher, if sometimes unrealistic, standards?I think the question comes though, why do we draw the line so demonstrably further for Democrats?

If you consider Jon Stewart et al. to be liberals, which seems to be the case, it's much more rare to see them bang their own walls. They are what I can best call "passive political figures": they don't act on their own (barring, perhaps, Stewart - haven't been keeping much of an eye on the rest), but they still propagate a certain point of view, and due to their popularity, people tend to listen.
