No political philosphy can immunize a person who subscribes to it from ordinary human failings like overgeneralization, bigotry, guilt by association, etc.

Certainly some world views like those of KKK members inherently carry those traits, but IMO there is nothing in either liberalism or conservatism (as I understand the terms) that forces an adherent to judge all members of a group by the behavior of its most dogmatic, extreme, or outspoken members. I see extreme conservatives and extreme liberals indulging in that practice all the time.
