Well, I could understand all the agitation if the term would have been "communist" or "terrorist", but not "socialist" or much less "liberal". Though it seems to me now like "socialist" is a synonym for "communist" for conservatives in the US and "terrorist" has just been used way too often and incautiously in the past to hold any deeper meaning to me, much like "patriot" is just a buzz word without any ethically expressive meaning to me.
