Please, listen to some of the audio clips on that website. One of them is called "Public Investment Recipient" Basically, he is saying that we should not call a Wellfare recipient a leech because those are "hurtful" terms and may affect their self esteem, Mr Hugh Topian came up with a PC term for leeches, it is "Public Investment Recipient". I know it is supposed to funny but that is really what the Democrat party is all about, they see everybody as a victim, Hispanics, Blacks, Single mothers are all victims and deserve special treatment. Their world is an illusion where everybody is "equal" and nobody should ever be offended. Out of touch with reality perhaps?

And for some reason, you cite a Fox affiliate as an authoritative (much less objective!) source for your rants against liberals? I can't make up my mind if that's hilarious or pathetic.

Here's an update for those of you who insist on trotting out the tired stereotype of Liberals with turtlenecks, tiny glasses, and lattes from Starbucks:

Few self-respecting liberals would ignore the fact that turtlenecks are woefully passe. We have too many gay friends that would tell us that. In addition, we prefer dark-rimmed glasses with some substance and avoid Starbucks because we don't agree with their business model and they don't locally roast their own beans.

So if you'd like to go ahead and update your stereotype, that'd be great.... The vast majority of liberal types who DON'T fit your stereotype don't care that much either way, but I figured you'd at least want to strive for accuracy.

If Liberalism is a mental disease then Conservatism is a social disease. Liberalism is the insane willingness to hope for the “Liberty and Justice for ALL”. Conservatism is “Preserve the power of the wealthy.” Liberalism may be insanely hopeful but conservatism is callously cruel. I would rather be governed by a just system of laws than a tyranny of mammon.
