http://m.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/03/1259852/-Huh-so-it-IS-a-coordinated-Wall-Street-Democrat-campaign?detail=actionHmmm, so far we've seen that Third Way op-ed in the Wall Street Journal and Sen. Chuck Schumer's comparing us to the teabaggers.
Then there is DLC dinosaur Al From with a new book and rhetorical embrace of Hillary Clinton, unreconstructed racist Richard Cohen's blasting of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Fox News "Democrats" Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell in Politico are back for another stab at that whole "radical center" nonsense.
One or two of these would be random noise. All of this, all at once? It's a coordinated counterattack by Wall Street Democrats spooked by the party's embrace of politicians like Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown, Tammy Baldwin and Jeff Merkley. The future of the Democratic Party is a populist one, all that's left is for time to whittle out the dead weight.
But this counterattack ... it's kinda pathetic. Warren will DOOM Democrats! Except that she is on the right side of American public opinion on issues of Wall Street dominance. That's the whole definition of being "populist" after all. But Warren can only win in a place like Massachusetts! Only if you ignore what Sherrod Brown did in Ohio with virtually identical politics. Or the way Democrats like Jon Tester and Heidi Heitkamp won their solidly red states. Hint: they didn't run Bob Kerrey's playbook of campaigning on Social Security cuts and austerity.

So good to see these slimy, lying infiltrators exposed for what they really are...by REAL Democrats.

and preferential income tax policy.
Remember that scene in The Ten Commandments where Charlton Heston comes down from the mountain with the tablets and finds his flock having an orgy, praying to the false god/golden calf? These Third Way Democrats are having a last big fling before Liz reads them all the Riot Act, lol.
