Reply #4: I think so

It's something I've just been putting together in the last couple of weeks, I think. There does seem to be a small group of Kucinich supporters who at the same time will not support whoever the Democratic candidate ends up being. I have to guess they are Greens. I also think this group of people are the ones who have made some of the disparaging posts against various other candidates. I also think these posts have been attributed to Dean or Kerry supporters, for a variety of reasons. Not that Dean or Kerry supporters haven't made remarks on their own, rather, it has been a backlash which may actually have been started more from the Greens in the first place. Dean going after Kerry early didn't help, but he actually never did it quite to the extent that some posters have and I think these posts got attributed to Dean supporters because of Dean's remarks at the time. I haven't gone back over 3 months of posts, but now that people are becoming clearer in their support, it might be interesting for someone with more patience than I've got to do that. And this is purely an unsubstantiated guess on my part, I have no idea of the truth of any of it. And I certainly know there are solid Democratic Kucinich supporters, Dennis is great, we just don't live in Dennisland right now. But it does seem we might want to take a moment to identify just how many Green Kucinich supporters there are and separate their attacks on Democrats from the rest.
