		<description><![CDATA[Liberals really do believe they are above it all, that they shed partisanship, ideology or mere subjectivity like the &lt;em&gt;Homo sapiens sapiens&lt;/em&gt; shed its tail. As far as they are concerned, modern science affirms all of their basic premises.

The apocalypse? That&#039;s crazy bible talk, but climate doom, that&#039;s pure cold (no pun intended) science!

You can see this with Rush Limbaugh. He is always prefaced with &quot;conservative&quot; radio host. You don&#039;t ever hear his name mentioned without the word conservative, or another insult, in the same sentence. On his Wikipedia page the word &lt;em&gt;conservative&lt;/em&gt; appears 23 times, and the word &lt;em&gt;republican&lt;/em&gt; 14 times.

While on the Wikipedia page of Charlie Rose. for example, the only reference to his politics is that he did an internship in the office of the Democratic North Carolina Senator. The word liberal is mentioned zero times! Same with Jon Stewart from the &lt;cite&gt;Daily Show&lt;/cite&gt;. the only nod to his politics is &quot;When he was labeled a Democrat, Stewart generally agreed but described his political affiliation as more socialist or independent than Democratic.&quot; He is just a little bit of a leftist, but generally objective, wink wink. The word &lt;em&gt;liberal&lt;/em&gt; is also not found once on his wiki entry.

And when it is mentioned, it&#039;s with a spin. From Rachel Maddow&#039;s wiki: &quot;I&#039;m undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I&#039;m in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican party platform.&quot;

Oh snap!

&quot;Maddow said she&#039;s a national security liberal and in a different interview that she&#039;s not a partisan.&quot;

Calling a liberal partisan is almost hate speech.]]></description>
