So here I am, reading along in this article in the Post, which says that Preznit Wasted Blow's approval ratings are going down faster than JGJG for a fee, and the story ends with this line:
Four in 10 Americans said they think religious conservatives play too large a role in the Republican Party, a view shared by about half of all Democrats and independents but only one in five Republicans. Conversely, nearly as many Americans (35 percent) said liberals have too much influence over the Democratic Party, a view held by nearly six in 10 Republicans.
Excuse me, but unless you're a dues-paying member of the DLC, aren't Democrats supposed to be, ummm, Liberal? Or are the media whores now subscribing to the idea that there are two parts to the Democratic Party. We nasty-ass Liberals and the NoJoMentum wing, aka Al From's Tea Club.

Lemme get this straight. Christian conservatives are the counterpoint to liberals? This IS scary. First Ann Coulter is touted as the flipside to Michael Moore and now liberalism is just the other extreme from fundamentalism. This lopsided equation is more than bizarre. It makes Teddy K's New Frontier/Great Society liberalism equivalent to where Gus Hall operated thirty years ago. And it makes the bulk of Republicans in the Eisenhower and Nixon administrations left-wing extremists.

That's our "liberal" WaPo for ya. Liberals are a radical fringe group according to them.
