Neither Lieberman or Hagel have been shy about crossing party lines or attacking their own. Lieberman has special reason to go after Obama, the Dem frontrunner endorsed Ned Lamont, Lieberman's challenger in the 2006 Connecticut primary.
Blog P.I. looks at the two pieces and sees a disparity between conservative and liberal bloggers' focus:
I see conservative bloggers supporting the Lieberman op-ed, and liberal bloggers criticizing it. Meanwhile, there are plenty of liberal bloggers supporting the article about Hagel, but no right-leaning bloggers weighing in on the same.
That does seem about right to me. The left's approach to things they don't like about the other side is to engage - usually with anger, counter-research, and occasionally reporting. The right's approach is to ignore things about its own party or movement they don't find appealing, i.e. Hagel. They tend to reserve their passion for things they dislike that explicitly emerge from the political left.
