No, it exactly is disagreement with Palin, religious conservatives that is going on. And what does that have to do with the lie that liberals ""demonstrate their solidarity with the oppressed by making fun of the middle class and conservative/religious poor people"? You are trying to defend a lie with a non sequitur.

Do liberals usually say that conservatives also want the best for society?

It is not nice or respectful, but bigotry and naked self interest do not deserve "nice".

The small minority of people who self identify as "conservative", from my experience, do indeed want the best for society, in their misguided, and delusional fashion.
But the "conservative" politicians they vote for have absolutely no concern for society. It is clear in their every action.
