Again, when you challenge the assertion based on "purity" then you are engaging in the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. A liberal couldn't have certain attitudes that are not quite as liberal as other, otherwise that person is not a true liberal.
Liberalism like anything else comes in different shades and strengths. We need to be open to all possibilities correct? Even the possibility that we have have to look into and challenge our own ideas and biases. That is part of being liberal. Hopefully the people that have engaged in that behavior with this man, will look at themselves and ask what they can do to make the situation better.
