Deep cover liberal
From RationalWiki
A deep cover liberal is someone who pretends to be ultra-conservative with the intended purpose being to discredit conservative political parties or conservatives in general. They act in a way contrary to their own beliefs and often sacrifice their credibility to defend the world against ultra-right-wing nutjobs. Deep cover liberals are often characterized by:
- Subtle or not-so-subtle Anti-Semitic comments disguised as "Pro-Christian" statements.
- Extreme religious intolerance.
- Active persecution of minorities.
- Unquestioning support of President Bush and apparent hatred for anyone who disagrees with him.
- Making suggestions for policy that actively contradict the U.S. Constitution either literally or in intent.
- Frequently making outrageous and illogical statements which obviously do more harm to the conservative cause than good (conservatives are usually oblivious to this).
