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.

Characteristics

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.
  • 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).

Alternative theories

Whether or not these people actually exist or not is an open question. An alternative theory to explain the existence of people like this is related to the existence of Poe's Law; that liberals themselves just can't possibly grasp that alternative views this extreme can seriously exist. Therefore, real wingnuts must be taking the piss, it's the only thing that makes sense. This isn't entirely a fault, anyone with even a modicum amount of confidence in the goodwill of humanity will have their view threatened by ten seconds in the presence of Ann Coulter. Assuming or theorising that Kool-Aid drinkers are in fact a parody or insincere, may just be a way of resolving the cognitive dissonance of wanting to think that everyone is, deep down, a good person while watching Glenn Beck make an ass of himself.
