The Dictionary Has a Liberal Bias?

A reader on the National Review website complains to the author of Liberal Fascism of "the creeping leftism of something as supposedly benign as a thesaurus." Yes, the correspondent looked up the entries for "liberal" and "progressive" in Roget's and found them too positive.

The poor bastards have been using "liberal" as a pejorative for so long that they simply assumed it meant something bad. Now some numbskull looked it up and discovered that wasn't the case at all. And of course they now want to change the dictionary definition to match their prejudice. No doubt their next move will be to redefine "flaming right wing asshole" as a compliment.
