I am sure they are thrown back at conservatives, but I understand what the Hobo is talking about, and why he posted it as he did. I don't I guess notice the examples against conservatives, since it's not telling me what I think, and inaccurately, and it's getting to be epidemic. I get told almost daily what I and us damn "libbos" think, and it never, not once is accurate. It's hair-pullingly aggravating, which is probably part of the goal of it.
On a further note, "liberalism", as it is today, represents a pretty broad spectrum of people. Hobo and I do not agree on every issue, and yet we are both liberals. I am very law and order, very anti illegal immigrant, anti gun control to a large extent, strong national defense, and am adamant about the troubles with a large deficit, yet I am still, overall, a liberal, and fairly far to the left. Using a blanket argument like "you libbos think..." is just dismissive, and inaccurate, even if it is in general close to what many liberals do think.
Somehow we need to get back to arguing against points, not labels.
