DWS is a lot of things..but stupid isn’t one of them. I think these recent rants are deliberate..they must feel that they have to keep the RAT base energized..if they lose that..if it drops off 10% or so..there is no way they can win in 2012..

I disagree with those who think her vile rhetoric is 'a gift'. There is a good chunk of the country who buys every word of it, and unaswered it does help move the marker leftward in general.

There was a time when the GOP understood that calling a liberal a liberal was highly effective way to marginalize them, and democrats ran from the label. Now they embrace the term, even as its clearer than ever liberal/progressive policies are destroying the nation. Because the GOP refuses to 'namecall' preferring to take the 'highroad' for fear of appearing 'meanspirited'.

Meanwhile the democrats are going nucking futs flinging every ridiculous cliched charge at their opponents they can think of. They do because its effective.
