50. New member attempting to divide the forums

by pitting Democrat against Democrat.

This was Sestak's "betrayal" of the Democratic party:



http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2012/10/31/opinion/doc509095611a581617002967.txt

If you have serious questions about what happened in Benghazi on Sept. 11, you are not alone. Former admiral, congressman and Democrat Joe Sestak has questions, too.

“There are questions the administration needs to answer,” Sestak said Monday morning as Hurricane Sandy rolled into Delco. “Put politics aside, something did go wrong.”

snip

Sestak is no novice when it comes to these matters. He worked with the National Security Council in the Clinton White House and was a chief strategist for “Deep Blue,” the Navy’s anti-terrorism unit.


An anti-terrorism expert, one who might be running as the Democratic candidate for PA governor in 2014, raises obvious questions concerning the matter, and a new "concerned" forum member attempts to rile up DU members against him.

There's an old political strategy for this sort of thing: it's called "divide-and-conquer".
