This is beyond ridiculous. From
Washington Post's Op-Ed columnist Jackson Diehl (emphasis mine):
Though you'd never know it from surfing the Internet, there exists in the Democratic Party a substantial body of politicians and policymakers who believe the U.S. mission in Iraq must be sustained until it succeeds; who want to intensify American attempts to spread democracy in the greater Middle East; and who think that the Army needs to be expanded to fight a long war against Islamic extremism.
Their problem isn't only that some people (mostly Republicans and independents) don't believe they exist. Or that the flamers at MoveOn.org would expel them from the party if that were possible. They also face the formidable task of rescuing what they believe is a quintessentially Democratic policy agenda from the wreckage of the Bush administration, so that a future president can do it right.
I think this just may be part of an over all concerned effort by all the old cronies from DLC who are trying to push a hateful narrative into the traditional media stream. Now that they are getting stomped on from all angles within the party - this is all they have left. They are acting weak, pathetic, and desperate just like their buddies from the Republican party.
But this veiled attack on Move On and its million of supporters who have gotten it right from the very beginning is beyond reprehensible. It's vile and disgusting. And there should be no room for it in the Washington Post.
