Worse than that he is labeling him as a, wait for it .....liberal ..... horrors.

It has always mystified me that in the US the word "liberal" is seen as pejorative whereas in most other progressive countries it has positive connotations.

From an online dictionary:

a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.

These are good things, no?
