I must be a "liberal" because...
I do not think liberals should wish that any other person should die or become incapacitated. For some odd reason, that sounds inhumane. Surely liberals would not believe that?

2. I guess I'm a liberal as well.
But sometimes it gets hard with news of Rush and chest pains.

But not too hard.

9. I don't actually "wish" death on anyone
but there are some people whose demise would cause me great joy. Dubya, Cheney, Fred Phelps to name a few.

14. I'll say it again: "Liberal/Progressive" does not equate to "moral".
It would be hard to argue that many of the early union organizers were not liberals, but to further their goals they took some pretty immoral actions. It would be hard to argue that John Brown wasn't a liberal, but he was also killed innocent people to further the Abolitionist cause. I could go on and on, but it isn't necessary. Liberalism is defined by it's issues.

15. I'm a liberal because I believe in democracy. I wish pain only to those who fight against me
And I make no apologies for it. Fuck the bankers.
