That's an interesting way of looking at it based on definition. It makes sense and the article touched on that with the "ignorance is bliss" perception and how Dems may pay closer attention to politics and social conditions than Repubs.
This is all with the dichotomized version of Dem/Repub and lib/conserv. Of course it doesn't always work so simplistically.
Liberal has been associated with BAD because of some of the agendas that liberals have allowed to be at the forefront. Also, extreme liberals have kind of been like tree hugging hippies who feel like anything goes because certain standards and values are based solely on "elite class snobbery."
