"So much for liberals being tolerant"

This is a popular meme, but should also be a clue.  I would call a liberty-threatening thug a liberal as soon as I'd call a Bible-burner a Christian or a Republican a fiscal conservative.  Definitions or qualifications have to matter at some point, I think.  Also, the ever-present scattered nuts are less of a threat than a man who jokes about political assassination in front of large, impressionable audiences.

In my view, anyways, and I'll punch you if you disagree. ;)
