| − | Often [[liberal]]s refuse to admit that they are [[liberal]]s, in the hope of appearing more reasonable.

Only out of desperation did Dukakis admit that he was a [[liberal]], and even then he admitted only that was a liberal like President [[Harry Truman]], who served 40 years earlier. | + | Often [[liberal]]s refuse to admit that they are [[liberal]]s, in the hope of appearing more "reasonable".

| | Liberals like to bash President Bush as a war monger and cite [[President Clinton]] for his eight years of peace and prosperity. Liberals will deny record low unemployment, more people owning their homes and President Bush going after [[terrorists]] while protecting Americans from further attacks. Liberals will selectively forget that during Clinton's term: the [[Rwanda]] massacre occurred, the bombing of the USS Cole, the war in the [[Balkans]], the two US embassies bombed in [[Africa]], the Kobar tower bombing in Saudi Arabia, the [[Somalia]] conflict, the missile strike against [[Afghanistan]] and the bombing campaign against Iraq. Also, [[liberals]] will deny that Clinton's economic policy ignored a series of high-profile companies that eventually collapsed due to fraud: Enron, Tyco, Worldcom and Qwest. | | Liberals like to bash President Bush as a war monger and cite [[President Clinton]] for his eight years of peace and prosperity.

| − | As part of their denial, liberals often use the word "denial" pejoratively against conservatives. Alleging that conservatives are [[racist]] and reject [[science]], they use terms like "[[global warming]] deniers" and "[[climate change]] deniers" in an attempt to link conservative viewpoints with [[Holocaust denial]], [[Nazism]], [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]], and [[pseudoscience]]. | + | As part of their denial, liberals often use the word "denial" pejoratively against conservatives.
