Without a doubt, this Glenn Greenwald column is the best explanation
for comments such as Dr. Haynes:

Bush has transcended political labels -- not to mention the law -- and
launched a simply amazing cult of personality; to his numerous true
believers, no criticism is valid or possible.  Excerpt:

====
Now, in order to be considered a "liberal," only one thing is required
? a failure to pledge blind loyalty to George W. Bush. The minute one
criticizes him is the minute that one becomes a "liberal," regardless
of the ground on which the criticism is based. And the more one
criticizes him, by definition, the more "liberal" one is. Whether one
is a "liberal" -- or, for that matter, a "conservative" -- is now no
longer a function of one?s actual political views, but is a function
purely of one?s personal loyalty to George Bush.
