I think this stuff is tip of the iceberg. People are going to work very hard to come up with reasons to hate Obama, simply because they don't want to admit that they really don't like him because of his ethnicity. When wearing a flag pin can dominate a discussion about the patriotism of a person running for the presidency of the country, all logic and common sense has gone out the window.
That is what scares me the most. To watch the level of stupidity people will stoop to in order to find a reason to hate Obama. I already had to deal with it in pertains to Hillary in the process of Obama getting the nomination. I can only imagine how ridiculous it's going to be from here on.

to be liberal means to be so disengaged from reality, reason and facts, that they float blithely about, like the Laputians in Gullivers Travels, so that up can be down, down can be up
Actually, the real dictionary meaning of liberal is:
a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded
How your definition applies to Obama or any non obsessive-compulsive voters who usually go Democrat, I have no idea. But I welcome any poorly, derived analogies that you may have so that rational thinkers can tear them apart piece by piece.
Let's start with one obvious one, like the war in Iraq. Here's the reality. It's failing. It's not successful, and it's costing our nations trillions of dollars. To suggest that a liberal is disengaged from reality, he or she would have to believe that the war is progressing well and that our economy is not suffering because of it. Obama, the one that's labeled as a "liberal" is not.
