discord within Democrats. You claim this is 'name-calling' which is obviously wrong. Name calling generally an attempt to characterize someone as somehow a morally inferior class of being. I have said I think you are engaging in a dishonest rhetorical practice of creating what appears to be actual disagreement within the democratic camp. I identified you as a member of those individuals who are accurately characterized as operating in the interests of the GOP while passing themselves off as members of the Democratic party of the Democratic persuasion, if you will. I think, based on the outlandish insinuations of this thread which you have agreed with or contributed to, this is a reasonable conclusion.

That isn't name-calling but I can see how you would want to misrepresent my identification of your tactic.

You claim to have devined my political leanings (re Obama) without any evidence (at least none cited). But this approach is consistent with methods of the article referred to in OP, which you find so appealing.
