(29,080 posts)"The goals are the same" ?
Really? So let me get this straight: having been anti-war, anti government surveillance, pro choice, pro environmental protections, pro progressive taxation, pro social security and medicare, pro universal healthcare -- basically everything David Koch opposed in his platform in 1980 -- now thanks to my racist hatred of Obama (in spite of being bi-racial myself), I have totally reversed all my beliefs and am now a rightwinger dedicated to destroying the Democratic party?
And now someone on this thread says people are taking down names and keeping their eye on the "far left" at DU because we are somehow insincere in beliefs we have held our whole lives? Like some sort of Manchurian candidates, we lived ordinary lives, engaged in activism for liberal causes until the trigger "scary black man in the white house" suddenly turned us like MKUltra subjects? Is that really what is being insinuated on this thread?
