I have no idea who David Brock is, so that certainly wouldn't have been offensive, and the overlap between the Tea Party and the Repulican Party is pretty significant. But even if the latter weren't true, it wouldn't be an offensive opinion.

If you said Duke Basketball and UNC Basketball were about the same thing, well, then pffffft.

this needs further exploration I have noticed that in academic contexts conservatives stay quiet or get combative and in religious contexts the liberals do the same.

but maybe nothing offends a conservative.

Ha. No, I can easily be offended. I just don't take offense.

But my wife says I am unusual. Well, she uses the word "weird" but I know what she means.

I just remembered I have blocked someone on twitter a Cop who kept calling me a beardy caveman, a fag and telling me I needed to accept Jesus as my savior and stop following traditions that Jesus had superseded. [I assume politeness would be one of those traditions] 30 or so messages a day so I blocked him.

But not because he was conservative.

You have a beard? Gross. :-)

I would not assume he was a cop or a conservative. Remember: on the internet, nobody has to know you are a dog.
