No but she is an indisputable one...and wears the label proudly unlike many others who pretend they are not. In my admittedly modest reading of and about her, I haven't come across a source where she identifies herself as a "liberal." She doesn't, and never has. (The couple of her books I've read, she takes the opposite approach and spends a lot of time bragging about how independent a free thinker she is instead.) I think this is the whole "anybody who doesn't share my values exactly is a liberal" thing that's long been popular with elements of the American right. Given that, the complaints about "liberals" having a go at Paglia for not marching in lockstep is pretty funny, isn't it?
