Seems more like someone closing their mind to ideas, to me.

Bush ended the neocon quite handily all on his own.

Liberals are some sort of mythological creatures to them who will destroy America,poison their kids with weird idea's and will make everyone gay.They must save America.When they use liberal like that it has little to do with the political term.It's about their superstitions,nightmares and fears
The problem with conservatives isn't the everyday conservatives themselves; it's the people they listen to. Conservative leaders, in their vilification of liberals, tell so many lies about what liberals are supposed to believe, support, say, do, etc., that the everyday conservatives end up hating a fictional enemy. If what the pundits said about liberals was true, I'd be a hardcore conservative.
If liberals were so terrible, these pundits and politicians would have no reason to lie at all. They could just recite facts and let them stand for themselves. Instead they take part in character assassination and avoid speaking about actual issues. They make blanket statements that have no basis in fact. What's worse is that many of them cloak their rhetoric in a pseudo-Christian guise to act as if God is somehow on their side (even though the Bible basically tells them to pray quietly and stay out of politics).
Virtually all of the lies that are told about liberals are easily shattered with the barest attempt at rationality and reason. The facts stand for themselves, yet so much mud is slung that the facts are like gems buried under several feet of mud. The facts are there, and are obvious and clear, but unfortunately one must dig through all the crap that is spewed in order to bring them to light. When one digs a handful of it away, the pundits are expert at piling on even more crap, or more often, will distract and divert away from the digging.

Because they think "liberal" is a bad word. I like it.
The founders of America were Liberals. The people who ended slavery were liberals, the people who let women vote were liberals, the people behind civil rights were liberals.
Liberals are on the right (correct) side of almost every issue throughout history.

Conservatives understand well the Liberal position and disagree with it. Are you embarrassed to be a Liberal?
Evaluating an idea and determining it to be opposing one's ideals is not closed-mindedness

It called the ad hominem argument. It's a logical fallacy that only conservatives recognize as a valid argument. It's perplexing and a psychological mystery for the ages.

They are not very bright.They think liberal is a bad word.If they looked up the definition of the word, they would be shocked that it is not a bad thing.

Well, when they hear incoherent rambling without a trace of logic there is no doubt that it is a liberal doing the babbling. Thus yelling LIBERAL is just to warn others nearby that the out-of-control goofball could turn their direction and do something stupid at any instant.

Same reason the Libs scream "stolen election" every time they lose an election.

Why do libs yell "fascist!!" every time a conservative tries to point out that not everything from cradle to grave is a "human right"?
