....I'd go further, I'd say it is used just like an ad hominem, especially when Sean Hannity uses it (he throws his arms in the air and says "liberals!").

I'd like to hear opinions on why, how, when and where "liberal" became an ad hominem or an accusation.
What sort of significance, if any, does this have on our society, culture, politics?

My opinion: it became an insult because the Right had very little to criticize Bill Clinton on, as far as policies go (Clinton stole their bread and butter platforms). Clinton was the most hated man by the Right in decades! He did take all the blame and heat off of Jimmy Carter, if only temporarily!

I call myself a wWWWWWWAAAAAAAYYYYYY LEFT of center liberal. Shit homes, I did three years of my life in prison and us white trash are classed with the blacks (*I joined the Black Culture Club in prison, and generated funds and helped to premote the Black community). White Trash, Middle Class White Closet Liberals, Rich Whites on our side, Blacks, Native Americans, Latinos y otro minorites need too join together and fight the right wing conservative republicans.

Yes, my mind is made up! Spend years behind bars baby and it can either positive being strongly politicaly motivated and racial and social development and rehabilitation (Saddly, my parole officer (bless her heart) told me I was part of 2%), the other end is surcumming to the rich White man and being his bitch doing slave labor in prison for 20 to.....death.

Thank you for indulging me,
