In reply to the discussion: Training Tea Party Activists In Guerilla Internet Tactics - BUSTED! [View all]freshwest

The best laid plans of fascists don't always come to pass, no matter how hard they try. From the comment section on the video, which I don't have time to verify and don't support all his conclusions. However, that is how the movie ended:
The actual end of the movie has Olivier surviving in a hospital bed destroying his list of the Hitler clones around the world to protect them from Jewish extremists sharing the biological determinist fallacies of Mengeles. In reality Hitler's brother married an Irish girl in England, his nephew moved to America, and enlisted in the US Navy to fight Fascism in WW2. We're all individuals before anything else.
In a world of dollars replacing the human voice, as if they are individuals, we are sorely outnumbered by those who have billions of dollars to talk over us. The very slick presentations and the money to organize against the Democratic Party's ideas is very serious.
We need to forge a party of those with sufficient cohesion to resist the monied groups FDR spoke of in his era, which he could ever root out completely. Instead we have people savaging those who speak for unity at DU, acting as if the other side is not united and will not tolerate their ideas or idealism, period.
That is why the party in the days of FDR did include racists and every other group that people act like they've moved beyond. And they left the party as it moved to fulfill its destiny by holding to the same tenets of equality from centuries past.
Now we have those who tell us they won't vote and will not give any credit without a sneer, or hate the Democratic president as much as a Teabagger. They will not be there when we need them, they can't even stomach the Democratic Party now.
It will create the same result those in the video want. To claim the Democratic Party is corporatist, weak, or has no principles, or the parties are the same, is a blatant denial of the pure corporatism of the GOP.
Are posters at DU working with this group, that we can never prove. I kept a piece by a DUer who explained the ratfucking here in very clear terms. If they were ever what they say they are, they are now deluded by the same media that the Teabaggers use.

I prefer meeting people in person, at city, county, precinct and legislative hearings.

Then don't respond to me, respond to the OP and I supported the premise of the OP.

We seem to have a fair amount of the Paulbot/Greenwald fans here, I don't blame them for

I don't think conflating 'Paulbots' with 'Greenwald fans' is a useful way to post.
