Poll question: Are there idiot liberals?
NOTE: This is not a question concerning whether or not all liberals are idiots. It is a question concerning whether there are some idiot liberals within the entire population of liberals.

1. I think I met one once, but it was a long time ago
I think you'd have to define 'idiot.'

5. But of course and the "Party" doesn't need their votes...
Ask the repukes how that 'worked for them' when they proclaimed they didn't need the paleoconservative vote in 2006.

I'm waiting any hour now to hear that spew on this forum...

It's coming, stand by.

6. Yup...
I do, unfortunately, have to say that there are definitely some idiot liberals out there, just as there are in any group of people. Sadly, I kind of have to throw my sister into the "idiot" liberal mix. Not because she is necessarily dumb but because she is hardcore liberal just for the sake of being an extremist. Growing up she and my dad never really saw eye-to-eye on a great number of things and she consequently became a radical liberal more or less to spite my dad, who was a moderate conservative. To this day she spouts random liberal thoughts and ideals but when you ask her about anything related to politics or events in the world she is clueless as to what is going on.

10. "Folly, says they."
"The future, says I." Paraphrase of Dub Taylor from the Gunsmoke episode "Nitro." And yes, there are idiot liberals. Then again, stupid though they may be, they only need to know which button to push in the voting booth.

13. Two words: Bill Maher
Once in a while he'll say something that makes sense, but for the most part, he's an idiot. He's friends with Ann Coulter...'nuff said.

15. I googled it and I found that....
...I can find the best selection of "Idiot Liberals" now on ebay.
I didn't check though, because I don't have PayPal.

Personally I've never met one, but I think they're the ones who Limbaugh's screeners allow on air.

27. Who Are They?
I think the better question is this:

"Are there some idiots who happen to be liberal"?

The answer is, Of Course.

But I object to people who call otherss "liberal idiots" -- just because some liberals are more passionate about ending the war.

Passion for ending the war should NEVER be called "idiocy".

28. Yes, there are idiot liberals.
But they're not idiots because they're liberal. Though the use of the pejorative with that modifier clearly makes that implication.
