In reply to the discussion: Wow! The new slur against the anti-war faction on DU is "peace purists" [View all]DontTreadOnMe
(2,442 posts)kind of like Abbie Hoffman running scared from "authority".
The extreme LEFT now supports:
1. anti-government rants, see Rand Raul
2. paranoid... everyone is watching you
3. calling out centrist DEMS as "war criminals" and "authoritarians"
4. not wanting to get involved with possible "war crimes", such as the use of chemical weapons on children in Syria -- while at t he same time calling keep who do want to stop the madness as "war mongers"
5. trust Snowden, without ANY ACTUAL facts (SHOW ME THE FACTS, M'AM!) - someone who is now hiding in Russia, but YOU trust him because some journalists "say" he has some evidence, but we can't show it to you right now. We might leak it slowly, you will have to wait for the evidence, but "trust me" - Obama is evil.
The extreme LEFT can't get organized under something coherent, so the rest of "left of Obama Dems" are worried that the "EXTREME LEFT" is going to hand over the next mid-term election to the Rethugs...
