It’s insidious. Today’s New York Times article about the Children’s Health Care Bill says:
A liberal group supporting the legislation was scheduled to begin running a television advertisement that said Mr. McConnell had “sided with the big insurance companies” by voting against an earlier version of the legislation.
What makes the group "liberal?" It supports child welfare. So to say, "A liberal group supporting the legislation …" is a tautology – just another chance to use the "L" word. In this way of thinking, there could be no such thing as a "conservative group supporting the legislation."
