(62,325 posts)different people, it is a talking point. Real people don't repeat talking points, they speak from the heart.
Here are a few trumped up to slam Liberals with, and not from Republicans, who had their own list for Liberals, these began around 2004 on Dem forums:
'You don't belong to the Reality Based Community'.
'Thanks for your 'concern'.
'Concern troll'
'Purity Troll'. That is a favorite, accusing those who stick to Liberal principles of 'purity'. Whenever I see that I remember where I first saw it, and I know that individual was an operative. He was eventually proven to be. Nasty, insulting, 'democrat' who could not hide his disdain for actual Democrats.
There was a whole list of these words and phrases rolled out around 2004 and that's when we began to see attacks on Liberals like Dennis Kucinich, mocking garbage we had only seen from the right until then.
Those are other identifiers, WHICH Dems they attack, usually the most Left Leaning.
I have often had disagreements with people who I know are not part of any of this. Because they USE THEIR OWN WORDS and do not PERSONALLY attack, they might get angry, frustrated but you can tell when someone simply disagrees on an issue and when the goal is to undermine the PERSON.
