Reply #151: Not referring to statements of dissatisfaction with Dem leadership/policy -

That's a natural expression of the misguided centrist strategy that's being pursued by most pols in DC.

Instead, my radar is alerted by the industry shills who show up here in teams whenever there's been an event - the BP shills during the Gulf oil spill, the nuclear industry apologists at the height of the Fukushima crisis. Not everyone who took a contrarian stance was a flack, and often they are technically knowledgeable and bring some sound information to the debate. But, increasingly, I am growing intolerant of those who post on open boards under false pretenses and spread disinformation and a message of false security and satisfaction with outcomes. That goes for professional political flacks and cheerleaders, as well.
