(62,325 posts)'talking points' or 'anti-progressive language' such as 'purity troll' 'concern troll' used to slap down any progressive raising any question that is inconvenient, such as about election fraud, which was a bannable offense on DK for as long as I can remember.
Another phrase thrown at progressives was 'we are a reality based community' and YOU, dear Liberal, are a 'Conspiracy Theorist'.
Another one you saw there all the time was 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof' in response to anyone even wondering about certain policies of our government.
They emulated the right with these tactics, complete with a prepared language to be used like a weapon against anyone who dared to ask inconvenient questions, including against respected publicly known progressives.
Seeing some of it here, (it never really caught on outside of DK) gives me the creeps frankly. Bad enough that DK was not what it seemed and btw, they hated DU where people were way more free to ask the questions not allowed on DU, such as about Election Fraud eg but is a reminder of the deception over there which I hate to see here. A lot of people of course thought this 'language' was so clever and began to talk in 'talking points'. I never trust people who do that.
Thanks for the link, that guy did some great research and backed it all up mostly. Kos was CIA connected according to his own words. He has refused to answer any questions asked about his background which is far different than the one he claimed when he started his blog.
