Watch the film and see how the people who call themselves “peace protestors” treat someone who doesn’t share their beliefs.

Kudos to tiny Michelle Malkin for taking her stand and refusing to leave because of the bullies.

When President Clinton was contemplating running for president he was a member of the moderate Democrat Leadership Council and that’s what put him ahead of the pack. He ran as a moderate and not as a liberal. Or at least not as liberal as he turned out to be.

Now the candidates are shunning the DLC in favor of the Kos Convention.

From Greg Pierce’s Inside Politics column in the Washington Times is this quote:

“There’s no obvious way to measure such a thing, but as a matter of intuition, you’d have to say that the most hated people in America today are sensible Democrats,” Tod Lindberg writes in the Weekly Standard.

“The hard-core partisans of the Democratic left have never had a bigger megaphone than they now have on the Internet, and while they are united in the view that George W. Bush is public enemy No. 1, with Alberto Gonzales and Karl Rove alternating in the No. 2 slot, what really pumps up the volume is any sign of deviationism on their own side,” Mr. Lindberg said.

“When Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack of the Brookings Institution travel to Iraq and report on the New York Times op-ed page that conditions there are improving, they aren’t doing so in order to give aid and comfort to the Bush administration, but because as a defense expert and regional expert respectively, that’s what they are seeing. Nevertheless, they were flayed alive by angry left-wing bloggers, who challenged everything from their qualifications to their competence to their honesty to their eyesight.

“The policy and political headquarters for sensible Democrats has long been the Democratic Leadership Council, which was founded in response to Walter Mondale’s massive defeat running as an orthodox liberal against Ronald Reagan in 1984. …

“The DLC had its annual ‘National Conversation’ late last month in Nashville, and the headline was who didn’t show: namely, any of the candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination. Why not? Maybe because, as Noam Scheiber put it in another New York Times op-ed, the DLC is now ‘radioactive’ for the Democratic mainstream and especially its netroots agitators.”

Just as the far right nut roots are trying to take over the Republican Party, the far left nut roots are taking over the Democratic Party, and neither party is well-served by either group.

I wonder if Nixon’s “Silent Majority” still exists and will show both groups who really decides the elections come November ‘08.
