A word used by neocons to make fun of people who care about the environment, the sad state of public schools,the bullshit war in Iraq, or basically anything other than themselves.
More than 30,000 Iraqi civilians have died since the beginning of the war. Why shouldn't I be a bleeding heart?

An individual who has excessive sympathy for any group or individual that they perceive as underprivileged, and a lack of sympathy for any group or individual that they perceive as over-privileged.
They typically hold the view that the majority are responsible for any minority plight whatsoever, and that minorities can never, ever be responsible for their own condition. They often feel that the public is obligated to make special accommodations for every group, no matter how large or small it is. They claim to be against racism, but in actuality are racist against whites, and believe that modern generations are responsible for the wrongdoings of their ancestors. They will usually pursue useless degrees with their parents' money, and they will never be found studying the hard sciences.
A bleeding heart is NOT simply any left-leaning individual. Supporting social and environmental causes does NOT make one a bleeding heart. It refers specifically to those who take the views to a ridiculous extreme, make completely illogical, unrealistic demands, and are unable to recognize their own hypocrisy.
supporting gay rights = not bleeding heart
demanding that all businesses should provide transgender restrooms = bleeding heart
supporting gresponsible environmental policies and conservation of fragile ecosystems = not bleeding heart
crying about things like deer hunting and belonging to PETA = bleeding heart

For one to be overly sympathetic. Those with "Bleeding Hearts" mean well, sure, but they are some of the biggest, nosiest little damn babies, so much so that they only serve to be the annoying ones.
This slang is comprised of people with liberalistic ideals and goals, not realistically understanding the situation though they tend to think they do, regardless the situation and won't let in for even a moment.
Quite seriously, 3/4 of the United States of America's society is filled with bleeding hearts. If you honestly dislike this example, and are offended by my opinion, you know what you are.
