Article also fails to mention that using something like factcheck.org will typically get you branded a liberal.

Liberal isn't a dirty word, it's not something you're branded with.

In a large (but shrinking, year by year) part of the country, it most definitely is.

Those aren't places most people want to go, though.

Neither is "socialist" but that isn't stopping anyone...

That's not what he meant - he meant (I think) that a US liberal is still considered right wing in Denmark, i.e. that the Danish 'liberals' are US 'pinko commies' and US right-wingers are in Denmark either 'capitalist oppressors' or 'crazy religious extremist', or both, depending on context.
