They are eating their own at the “cause”

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/4/4/716470/-(UPDATED)-Please-be-smarter-than-the-Freepers.

Example:

“It is with great restraint that I comment on this diary without descending to ad hominem attacks on the diarist, although the whole tenorof the diary is an enormous ad hominem attack. However, what floors me is how anyone
who is closely observing the fiasco that is ocurring in “Wall Street” today can find anything that William Black said as incorrect. The diarist chooses to focus on the strawman assertion that Obama is engaging in criminal activity, while ignoring the more glaring conclusion that the Obama administration is now, for whatever reason, a complete tool of the failed oligarchy represented by the nexus of the former Clintonites-Bushites-and financial crooks that have caused Great Depression II.

It seems there are two kinds of people now active on DKOS. One, represented by the diarist, who are still so thrilled over Obama’s election, the obvious improvement over Bush, and the hope for the future, that they perceive any criticism of the financial bailout as a partisan attack on Obama, a massive form of concern-trollism. And the other group, those who agree with Paul Krugman, Simon Johnson, and now William Black that we are witnessing a massive collusion effort to restore the financial industry at the taxpayers’ expense and the country’s imminent chance of utter collapse. As for me, I supported Obama in every way, but the reality is too great too ignore and I believe we all better call bullshit, whatever the political consequences, before the shit rises above our eyes and
drowns us and our children together. I only hope there are enough people like Bernie Sanders in Congress to sustain any hope for the future!

It is a shame when Sanders is more law and order than most others in the Senate. He has an agenda of course, but still... Republicans could win massively if they went the law and order route. It would take finesse, and going after any and all who are complicit, including Republicans. Something has to change soon for the good of the country. VERY soon.
