What on earth could make Democrats and their "leaders" take off the gloves and slap their base?

Dems may not be asking it, but Indies certainly are. Count on it.

  As an Independent I'm pleased as punch with this diary.
  
  Absolutely no way will I vote for an "R" this year...absolutely none. Not for Pres., not for Senator, not for dog catcher...won't do it. They deserve to pay all the way downline for what they've done to our country.
  
  That being said, it has amazed me that Pelosi and others are slapping around individuals that represent great energy and fervor for the Democratic Party.
  
  No, as the diarist so ably recommends, I won't STFU.
  
  Its the delegates that count

  At the bottom of it I'm wondering if it's a cynical political calculation based on beliefs that the electorate really would reject determined efforts to end the war (like cutting off funding), impeachment, etc. - or whether it is a reaction of anger at progressives for irritating them with demands that they do their jobs.

    "progressive" to simply expect Congress to DO THEIR JOBS and uphold their responsibilities under the Constitution. What have we come to?!?
