netspeak

Otherwise known as chatspeak, a process of shortening words and replacing letters with different letters and/or symbols to supposedly make the typing process shorter. Lacks proper punctuation and capitalization. Hard to understand and a sign of idiocy when used heavily, but sometimes useful when in a hurry or text messaging.

newspeak liberal

A socialist (or more generally, a person that loves government taxing "the rich" and helping the poor) that doesn't want to identify as such. He or she gets inspiration from George Orwell' 1984 by torturing the language and using a word meaning "free" to hide their authoritarian intents.
In the U.S., self-identified liberals are really newspeak liberals as they favor government intervention and collective rights. In Europe, liberals are truer to their origins, i.e. in favor of limited government and individual rights - they would be called libertarian in the U.S.
