So... why do liberals like Nietzsche so much?

I don't get it. I've just finished up reading the Birth of Tragedy, which pretty much finishes my reading of all Nietzsche's works. Let's begin by saying I pretty much agree with his views on Christianity and the movements hatched from the same moral backing (egalitarianism, socialism, etc.).

But what I don't get is how do Liberals, who essentially believe in a worldview which is at its core totally altruistic and "gregarious" and admire a man who was so incredibly reactionary and accepting of cruelty?

Anyone want to explain this paradox?
