Clinton Angers Move-on Dems With Call for Unity
2005-07-27
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's call for an ideological cease-fire in the Democratic Party drew an angry reaction yesterday from liberal bloggers and others on the left, who accused her of siding with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) in a long-running dispute over the future of the party...

The reaction highlighted the dilemma Democratic politicians face trying to satisfy energized activists on the left ... grassroots activists, symbolized by groups such as MoveOn.org and liberal bloggers, have assumed since the 2004 election. The most pointed critique of Clinton came in one of the most influential blogs on the left, Daily Kos...

"If she wanted to give a speech to a centrist organization... she could've worked with NDN," the blog said in a reference to the New Democrat Network, ...
[its about as centrist as Stalin's Politburo]
... with which Daily Kos's Markos Moulitsas is associated.
I've pointed out how the Democrats have become Arabized over time believing loony conspiracy theories, demonizing people they disagree with; now they've added another Arab trait - the way the extremists ridicule people they think too moderate

#17  The Kos Kiddies are already seething at Lieberman and Obama and Byrd for being "DINOs," and they think Durbin apologized because "Rove got to him."

Good heavens, this'll be more fun than Lenin vs. Trotsky.

#14  She'd hang Chelsea up on a meathook and gut her if that's what it took. Folks like Hillary eat their own at the drop of a hat. Species specific it is.

#13  I'm waiting for Hillary to get Chelsea to enlist in the army just months before the election.

Gawd in Heaven MK! Keep this sorta thing to yourself. Jeebus.

Seriously tho, it would be a hell of a gimmick, say Naval Reserve?

#11  We are pleased that you no longer reserve your popcorn graphic for actions by people like us, but use them to characterize your own "democratic" politics. This affirms what we've been saying all along, that our use of guns and bombs is not really any different from political conflict anywhere else, and that politics in western politics is a charade.

#10  It seems that nobody wants those ultra-lib assholes. At least not till after the election.

#9  This is a stark parallel to history past. Hitler, upon consolidation of his power, had his original supporters killed. The night of the long knives.

#6  So now the fun begins, as factions of Leftists maneuver to purge one another. Can we have the popcorn graphic, please?

#5  MoveOn was set up to get her elected. That it's what it's true goal was. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." Dems are such foolish tools.

#3  They will crawl along behind her in the end anyway. Lemmings are like that. I'm waiting for Hillary to get Chelsea to enlist in the army just months before the election.

#2  Then I'll have to crush them like bugs. Stand in the way of my ambition? I don't think so...

#1  I think it says a lot that Daily 'Screw Them' Kos is considered one of the most influential blogs on the left. It does symbolize the left... full of impotent hate for all things good.
