that permits a small, corporate contingent to relentlessly attack traditional Democrats and try to smear as disloyal any criticisms of right-wing/Third Way/corporate/neocon policies coming from Democratic politicians...not just on climate change, but on drones, the proxy wars, indefinite detention, the growing corporate police/surveillance state, austerity for the people, attacks on Social Security, settlements for banks, increasing privatization of education, free trade agreements, pipelines, etc., etc., etc. Third Way policy positions are highly predictable when you see this type of behavior.
You will see this tactic, relentlessly and predictably, on any thread that draws attention to the party's move rightward and increasing support for corporate interests over traditional Democratic policies and principles. The posting is always repetitive, relentless, and insulting. And it has a purpose.
