"When did moderate become a political dirty word?" CNN

7. What about the national dem party isn't moderate?

Do you agree that Tom Harkin is an extremist? And yes that damned well was what she said by using him as an example of someone who made such a shockingly "extremist comment as this:

And yet when it comes to politics, the staunch and unbending are yelling. The right sneers that fellow GOP-ers are "RINOs" (Republicans in Name Only); the left bashes "moderate Democrats" in favor of a "good, progressive, populist message," to quote Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.

Tell us who you think are the "extremists" in the dem party? If it's such a huge problem that "extreme leftists" have hijacked the dem party, name names.

For the record, it's a lousy idea to use wingnuts like Diane Medved and Jonah asshole Goldberg to promote "moderation". Think these haters might have an ulterior motive?
