It's not a dismissive label, but rather what I believe to be a statement of fact. Not a big surprise really. It is an environment that tends to attract folks with those sorts of viewpoints and personalities. And generally, I tend to like to hang out with those types of people, regardless of the fact that my political views vary dramatically.
I don't disagree that there are a great majority who share a liberal viewpoint, but saying, "so anything that is said that could possibly be deemed as supportive of what is seen as an evil republican regime will be struck down with furious anger", you're implicitly saying, "I'm going to ignore any response because it's just the liberal reaction." That's the dismissive bit. Like I said in my repsonse to Neph above, just state you're opinion. No need to qualify it. If people agree, they'll let you know. If people disagree, they'll let you know. Why the need to turn it into "me" vs. "them"?

Bah, I've already given this too much effort. Go change your pants.
