Reply #285: The problem with the incessant screed against the DLC

[AtomicKitten]

... is that it spills over into a pervasive cloud of negativism that renders people completely incapable of reasonable analysis. In short, a jihad is declared ... that in contrast to being willing to turning themselves inside-out using pretzel logic to defend others, the chosen ones who in their opinion can do no wrong. The disparity in that behavior is screaming, but I predict no insight will ensue in pointing it out.

I posted a thread about Donna Brazile working on getting fair elections, her focus on the rampant abuse of the system vis a vis supplying Democratic districts with inadequate voting paraphernalia, purging voting rolls, etc., etc. She and Dean (people forget her report was in conjunction with the latter) issued a report on Ohio 2004 that downplayed EVM fraud but meticulously documented the abuses of SOS Blackwell which BTW he has kicked up a notch in his race against Strickland.

Anyhoo, she has come out criticizing Lieberman as pointed out here on AMERICAblog:

Democratic pundit Donna Brazile criticizes Lieberman

What is good, and interesting, about this (captioned below) is that Brazile is yet another member of the Democratic establishment turning against Joe Lieberman. Even more interesting is that Brazile was Al Gore's campaign manager for his presidential bid in 2000 when Lieberman was the VP on the ticket. Even she is turning against Joe.

Democratic optimism

Donna Brazile, Al Gore's campaign manager in 2000 when Lieberman was the vice-presidential nominee, says voters want someone to fight for their values in Washington and "stand up" to the GOP. "I still believe this election in Connecticut comes down to a choice between an incumbent senator who many believe no longer represents their views on certain issues and a newcomer who promises to steer, not just the party, but the country in a different direction," Brazile said.

Brazile said that Lieberman's decision to run as an independent when Democratic voters had chosen Lamont put the party in a predicament. She adds that many candidates could choose to run as independents if they lose the Democratic nomination, but it doesn't mean they should. "If you lose, you lose," she said.

But I have no doubt that this as with her other good efforts will be summarily dismissed (at best).

I don't understand the tunnel vision when in comes to the chaos purposely perpetrated within the Democratic Party. I have never understood the rage that surpasses that felt for the GOP. But IMO it's a cancer that is hellbent on destroying the efforts to oust this administration and the GOP. I implore people to use caution in signing on to these in-party jihads.
