Gawker Makes Fun of Liberals

Here's the thing that I find quite annoying while attending parties. Usually people don't know my political views and I don't try to broadcast them too much. This leads to friend's of my friends to assume I'm liberal. Which is annoying, since most of the time I don't want to talk about politics but liberal platitudes and generalizations often make me cold. Most of the time I don't say anything wanting to keep peace and leave my hosts inviting me back. However, one of the things that I found to be a trend among my liberal acquaintances is sheer hypocrisy about how they "see" Republicans/conservatives and how they "talk" about conservatives. For example, I've been meaning to join a gun club, so I was delighted that a girl at a party was also a gun enthusiast. However, right off the bat she told me, "she is not one of those second amendment nuts....like most people in her club. Also, she decided to share how awful those conservatives are - posting a bumper sticker making fun of Hillary with a cunt joke and basically letting me know how horrible conservatives are. I let her know that I like the 2nd Amendment and I support it. Later on she went on and on about how closed minded, bigoted, and stupid conservatives are. It was late in the evening and I did not want to point out that she just said exactly what she accused the conservatives of doing: being mean spirited, ignorant, and unreasonable. However, the evening was otherwise very pleasant and I did not want to end with me accusing the sister of the host of being the kettle that calls the pot black. So I left and instead ranted to my boyfriend about the whole thing.
To my surprise Gawker has written a more funny and eloquent appraisal of liberals being hypocrites on the aspect they pride themselves most: open mindedness. Whatever their intentions are (higher traffic)of covering and sort of defending Palin it's quite refreshing.

How will the chattering classes of the blue states respond to the family saga of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin? Why, with the same flinty-eyed suspicion and close-mindedness that we profess to hate in the "God, gays, and guns" country of rural Americans. The Palin family background gives otherwise intelligent people the chance to indulge in the basest and most cartoonish of regional and rural stereotypes.

Update:: the photo is fake, but still hot. Plus they accompany the article with a very hot photo of Palin and make fun of the term "baby daddy" to boot:
