When is enough enough?

There is a new children’s book on the market whose title uses the word “liberal” as if it were a synonym for bogeyman.

My question is: What if the title of this book instead had named a specific ethnic or religious group --- or perhaps had used one of the more uncomplimentary code words for these groups --- in its title? Would we then recognize it for the hate mongering it is? Would we then denounce it for its cynical effort to poison children’s innocence? Would we then be outraged by its un-American and un-Christian hypocrisy?
