Bleeding Heart Liberals

[konnie]

am I the only one beyond pissed off at that NBC 'gee we just discovered there is a center silent majority' poll?
they singled out "bleeding heart liberals" not progressives, not just liberals - but BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS.

[Cleita]

5. Welcome to DU.

That's an oldie. I remember being called a Birkenstock wearing bleeding heart liberal although I never owned a pair of Birkenstocks in my life. That was twenty five years ago.

6. Todd Needs To Be Challenged On Social Media And Taken Down. He Needs To Be Harassed.

7. Did anyone try fibbing?

It might be interesting to take the poll and answer the opposite just to see what label you get.

Since I freely describe myself as a bleeding heart liberal, I personally didn't take offense at their use of the same label.

9. Would you have preferred the gub-mint shut down?

Of course the corporate media, owned by the greedy rich and aware of how they can influence gov't by using idiots, christianists and other rednecks to vote against their own interests, will continue to try to gain more power by making assholes vote against their own interests.

15 years ago 15-20 companies owned the media. Nowadays, it's down to six, all of whom profit from repug policies, so go out of their way to cheer them on.

10. I wear my bleeding heart liberal badge proudly!!

My father used to spit that phrase out like it was something filthy in his mouth. I was too young to know what it meant. Then one day, years later, I realized I was one. And I smiled.

12. Good point.

Unnecessary for them to add that adjective. I scored as one, by the way.

[LostOne4Ever]

14. I am honored to be a bleeding heart

And will wear the label proudly.

To me it means that I still care. That I am still alive both emotionally and physically. I will take that label anyday over being heartless piece of shit tea bagger/religious nut/ corporate shill.

Anyway, welcome to DU fellow bleeding heart!
