10 Tips on How to Spot a Liberal
April 4th, 2007I am probably going to get a lot of flack for this but I thought I would have a little fun anyway, generalize a bit and quite possibly offend some of the liberals that read this blog; some of which are my friends and others, well…you know. The following ten tips are not true for all liberals of course, just some quick observations I have made throughout the 30 or so years of my life. Oh, and feel free to include your ‘top ten’ list for conservatives too, if you dare.
- They are driving a Prius or other trend-hybrid vehicle to satisfy their eco-snobbery
- Their car has multiple stickers on the back; namely, “Bush Lied and People Died” or something about “faith based missile defense systems”
- They are wearing a shirt with a “peace” sign; probably with several psychedelic colors and objects. Perhaps a Bob Dylan and/or Beetles shirt too.
- They have long, un groomed facial hair and they get emotionally bent out of shape when someone brings up President Bush
- Attend a Cindy Sheehan rally and you’ll be surrounded by them; most likely holding up anti-Israel signs and comparing the Bush Administration to Adolph Hitler
- Most likely employed by local, state, or federal governments that perform menial tasks
- They are wearing a tie dye shirt, a fanny pack, Birkenstocks most likely walking around an art & wine festival.
- Go to the Al Gore movie “Inconvenient Truth” and look around. Most likely you will be sitting right next to one.
- Most everyone in Portland; especially if they riding a bike or playing a musical instrument on the sidewalk, have several facial piercings and often shooting their mouths off about something ridiculous
- College Professors at Harvard, Columbia, and Berkeley who believe the US government is responsible for 9/11; YES, they are out there.
This list is by no means comprehensive. Please add to it as you see fit. Oh, and please spare the hateful comments. For the most part I am just joking and having a little fun; stop being so damn emotional.

At least spell the Beatles correctly. If you are going to mock liberals or any others then the conservatives, at least try a bit harder to get the stereotypes right. We aren't all like that.

Should have been titled "list of hackneyed stereotypes of liberals".
Could counter with a equally silly list of how to spot a conservative, things like, the rapture bumper stickers, their ditto head opinions, ect, but what would be the point aside from insulting people who are really my fellow americans, and although I might think they are missguided, I realize they are doing what they think is right. I believe that our shared country is in trouble, and perhaps this is a time to pull together rather than driving each other furthor apart, but you'll do what you want, good thing we aren't at war or anything.

Another symptom is illiteracy, - as demonstrated by the inability to use "then" and "than" correctly Becky.

This is funny like Ann Coulter is funny. Like, not. And pointless. It's "not even wrong".

Dan - Ann Coulter is quite humorous but I don't get your point. Please elaborate.
