50. Lol, well the minute you see the 'purity troll' language you KNOW you are dealing with

Sep 2013

a Think Tank who came up with that language to trash the Left way back around 2004.

I remember well when they began using that idiotic 'language' to try to put down the Left. It is old history now, but they cling to what they probably paid big money for. Someone, someday will write about the history of the beginning of the attacks on the Left from 'within' the Dem Party.

They had a whole 'bag' of these 'epithets' to hurl around, but at this point, all their old 'language to attack the Left with' is simply a way to identify them with. 'I belong to the Reality Based Community' is another. Old, tired and failed strategy to attack the left with, so I'm not surprised to learn that the People's View is still using that old garbage long ago identified with right wing infiltrators to the Dem Party.
