Who, Me? — A Liberal?

A conservative blogger comments on my recent column on the Litvinenko affair:

It has become a very strange time indeed when I find myself in complete agreement with an anti-war liberal. In this case it is on the Litvinenko incident, and the argument laid out is an excellent synopsis of my posts on this matter. My impression of liberals has been inching upward recently, as I see clear examples of independent thinking and not accepting the PR that issues out of the mainstream media. This is a good sign to me that everyone is breaking their mental shackles that tie them to the error prone media giants.

Independent thinking isn’t the monopoly of any particular political persuasion — but, in any event, who is he calling a “liberal“?
