I said ''Liberal''

The word has been turned into a put-down by the neofascists. Mr.
Franken intends to reclaim it. He uses it himself without
hesitation.



Nice try, Franken-phile. Hollywood Al isn't reclaiming anything--he
is your standard left-wing, one-note, Bush-bashing -modern day-
liberal who has no clue what classical "liberalism" used to be about.
He may use the term "without hesitation," but, like most things he
says without hesitation, he's wrong. The word has been turned into a
put-down very justifiably because so many of today's liberals are so
clueless about the heritage of their alleged political philosophy, as
they are about the history of pretty much everything.
