A former liberal himself, Viktor Orban has become the man whom liberals in Europe love to hate.

Now we're going to make liberals love us.

To me it always seems as if liberals love people in large masses, and this is the price they pay to hate people individually.

Everyone says liberals love America, too.

Coors, ferociously antiunion, is the company political liberals love to hate, and the boycott became a cause celebre of the 1980's.

(The alternative in the mid-1960's was Barry Goldwater, who has turned out to be a Republican politician liberals can love.)

Expansion of affirmative action was an instinctual response of liberalism, and not in the crude talk-radio sense that "liberals love big government."

And the liberals loved it, and the conservatives gnashed their teeth.

"A tribute to the region of America that liberals love to loathe."

But liberals love subtlety and describe the world in a palette of grays - yet many have now dropped all nuance about this president.
