What is the old saying: "A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged".

I doubt that will be the case here though.

The problem is that Kuby isn't a "liberal." He's a hard-core communist agitator, so given where he started, this mugging might make him "liberal." If he were to be mugged 3 or 4 more times, he might finally become a conservative.

Not quite.

"[A neoconservative is] a liberal who has been mugged by reality. A neoliberal is a liberal who got mugged by reality but has not pressed charges."

And a liberal is a person too broad-minded to take their own side in an argument.
