Unlikely. Liberals know what they know and nothing will never conflict with that.
http://conservativebyte.com/2012/02/story-about-greedy-banker-who-left-1-tip-and-get-a-real-job-message-found-to-be-fake/
So, the story goes like this: a wealthy, vicious member of the “1 percent†goes into a True Food Kitchen, he runs up a three-figure tab, leaves a 1 percent tip, and then writes “GET A REAL JOB†on the receipt.
Wow, what an awful person! Can this story get any worse? What? He was also a banker? We should have known!
A person supposedly working for the lousy-tipping “banker†took a photo of the receipt and posted it to a blog called “Future Ex-Banker.â€
“Mention the ‘99 percent’ in my boss’ presence and feel his wrath,†the blogger wrote.
“So proudly does he wear his 1 percent badge of honor that he tips exactly 1 percent every time he feels the server doesn’t sufficiently bow down to his Holiness. Oh, and he always makes sure to include a ‘tip’ of his own,†the “banker’s†employee added.
Yahoo!, the Huffington Post, and a slew of other news sites ran the story and – surprise, surprise – it stoked the “class warfare†fires.
But after a little digging by CBS Los Angeles, it turns out the whole thing was a complete and total hoax. The incident never occurred and the photo that started it all is a fake:

I dont go by percents, I go by performance. If they were good I dont have a problem tipping 20-50%. If they are bad I still tip 10% or sometimes 1% and if they are really bad then none.

If you had watched the video you would have learned that the real tip was 20%. The bill was doctored to make liberals all puffy.

Nah, I rarely watch the videos posted here. They make my eyes and/or eyes bleed more often than not. I've learned that much here. The other 98% is just flaming posts

I'm only closed minded to liberals; who feel anyone that does not agree with everything they believe is closed minded. Fact is you have to be open minded to be a conservative. You have to go beyond the group think and have a thick skin. It is easy to be a liberal; you just have to care. To be a conservative you have to be caring and understand how harmful liberal policies are to those you care about.

So as long as you agree with them, you're open to their views. Right, that's what the definition of open-minded is.

Be open to other viewpoints and points of view and be willing to discuss thing and ponder those ideas and not hold to your beliefs and be totally unwilling to bend. Your mind must be open to the possibility you might be wrong and your thinking needs to be adjusted.

I think one of us should develop a Fistlator website - where you paste in a sentence or paragraph and it spits out the complete opposite sentence or paragraph...

I find that both extremes share Fist's viewpoint; that only by standing in or near the middle can you get a truly broader perspective on things.
Note that this doesn't imply that extreme sides can never make relevant points; it just means that they do so far too rarely.

I'm only closed minded to facts and opinions that disagree with my insane world view. This is why I only read "news" websites that reinforce the crazy.

The Outpost already had a thread on this, before it was revealed to be a hoax, and no one said anything about the 1%.

At least Fist gave his daily dose of irony though, since he's the one that looks foolish.
