An all-purpose catchphrase denouncing any and all ideas, arguments, behaviours and/or organizations perceived as being "liberal". Used primarily by ultra-right wing reactionary wingnuts (a small but unfortunately vocal segment of regular conservatism) for whom the term has an almost satanic connotation. The general purpose is to portray all political ideologies not supportive of their own as subversive, deceptive and dishonest.
The term was made particularly popular by Conservapedia, "the trustworthy encyclopedia", and its founder, Andrew Schlafly. Its overuse there has since weakened its effectiveness substantially, particularly anywhere on the internet. Consequently, it is almost never taken seriously anymore by either side of the political spectrum. Often the term is used to mock or parody fundamentalists and paranoid political demonization of the opposition, although Poe's Law may sometimes lead to confusion with actual ultra-conservatives making making "serious" arguments.
"It's another liberal falsehood. I don't expect that falsehood to bother liberals, but it will matter to everyone else. It's going into the growing list of liberal deceit." - Andrew Schlafly

People who steal other words to become more recorgnized. They then accuse modern liberalism of stealing their word.
1. Hi, I'm a classic liberal, but I'll call myself a libertarian even though I know the origins of the word come from anti-capitalists
2. Hello, it's me again, the classic liberal. This time I'm gonna call myself an "anarcho-capitalism", because anarchism is cool and I love capitalism. I'm also oblivious to the fact that anarchism generally rejects capitalism and that "anarcho-capitalism" is actually an oxymoron.

A term that implies that news reporting has a bias towards "left" or politically liberal ideas, but in reality is an illusion created when highly opinionated people inevitably use selective hearing to filter out and pick up on topics they don't like, forgetting the rest.
You can find some on-line conservative newspapers that claim to be "the real news, not the liberal media kind!" as well as some on-line liberal papers that claim to be "the real news, not the conservative-bias kind!"

The liberal hippy has selective senses. Hearing only what they want and seeing only what fits their self-righteousness. The liberal hippy craves drama. In the event it comes upon such a situation it will turn that incident upon itself to appear the victim. The liberal hippy's evidence of self-victimizatioin shall be dispayed in the exaggeration of each situation. Distortion is key to its self-perception. Without such a key ithe liberal hippiy's ego fails and it begins to experience human emotions such as regret and true empathy. "True empathy" isn't to be confused with the constant battle for women and minority rights.

Recently the riots on California college campuses due to higher tuition prices. The liberal hippy claimed "everyone should have the right to education not just the elite". When in fact the cause of tuition prices rising was due to the debt collaborated from a failing economy based on "Liberal Hippy Politics"

Modern Liberals champion Voting Rights, Workers Rights, Free Speech, Multiculturalism, the right to make health decisions without goverment or other groups offering a third opionion.
Modern Liberalism is the next Step in bring democracy to it's full potential.
Modern Liberalism is Pro-Freedom Alternative to Classical Liberalism.

A myth invented in conservative think-tanks as part of an all-encompassing effort to co-opt and/or corrupt all of the best ideas of a socially responsible, free country: In this case specifically, the existence of a free and curious media that functions independently from the government (but see also: affirmative action, feminism, social security, constitutional protection, judicial restraint, environmentalism, and social liberalism in general).
"Thank God we have Bill O'Reilly and Fox News to tell us the news as President Bush would have us know it -- before it gets filtered through the liberal bias for that pesky 'truth' the mainstream media is always harping on.
