If I were a "Conservative Operative" wanting to disrupt this site, I'd come in as an innocent centrist injured by the suggestion that centrism is not "progressive," or that the third way, corporatism, or other neolib junk is not "mainstream democratic party" stuff.

Then I'd proceed to spend all day on DU started many threads about the centrist candidates, loudly proclaiming them to be liberals at every opportunity, and making sure that their threads own the front page, in spite of the fact that they have a minority of support at DU.

I'd add a few posts deriding the other candidates, baiting their supporters, and then gleefully enter into battle.

If there were signs that I was not achieving enough "shift" on the board, I'd turn up the pressure by suggesting that anyone who doesn't march in a corrupt party line is a "conservative operative."
