Hey! I found one of those darned Third-Way Progressives!

[NanceGreggs]

101. You don't know who they are?

Here are some helpful hints in identifying them:

They have NEVER posted a single positive thing about Democrats – ever.

They post links to RW sources to make a point – a point which is invariably about how bad Democrats are.

They post links to RW articles that contain anti-Dem “facts” that have been debunked time and time again.

They “rec” every anti-Dem post they find on DU.

They flood every pro-Dem thread with anti-Dem rhetoric.

They post “change the subject” responses to anything positive about Democrats, e.g. an “Obama just did something good” OP is flooded with their “but what about all the other stuff he didn’t do” replies.

They can find the most obscure anti-Dem articles to post here, but have somehow never come across the many, many articles that prove the assertions of their anti-Dem articles to be false.

They post about how “both parties are the same”, and often point to the most vile Republicans as “having a legitimate point”.

They encourage Democrats NOT to vote if the Dem nominee is NOT their first choice, or to NOT vote for Democrats because they are no different than Republicans.

They post conspiracy theories about how Democrats are corrupt, “on the take”, and are “lining their pockets” with money from corporations and Wall Street – without ever offering a modicum of proof to support their claims.

They serve on juries where they vote to “hide” pro-Dem posts, while voting to “leave alone” the most vile anti-Dem posts.

They “rec” anti-Dem OPs without exception. They either absent themselves from pro-Dem threads, or flood them with vitriolic responses about how Democrats have done NOTHING to further liberal/progressive causes.

And of late, they post anti-HRC bullshit while posing as “Bernie supporters”, knowing that juries on a site that consists of 85% BS supporters are going to give them a pass for doing so.

As the old DU adage goes, if it quacks like a RW duck, and posts like a RW duck – chances are pretty good it actually IS a RW duck.
