In the spirit of two roads recommended diary, I would like to add to the list of purity trolls that need to be called out by name.
So here's some purity troll comments I've culled together, and I'm calling them out by name...

Quote #1
I believe that freedom is the deepest need of every human soul.
Quote #2
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
Quote #3
Don't necessarily avoid sharp edges. Occasionally they are necessary to leadership.
Quote #4
In our system leadership is by consent, not command. To lead a President must persuade.
Quote #5
But the truth of the matter is, we're an open society, we want to remain an open society, and there will continue to be vulnerability.
Quote #6
There is nothing new in the realization that the Constitution sometimes insulates the criminality of a few in order to protect the privacy of us all.
Quote #7
I do think that our freedoms are at risk.
Quote #8
A judge can't have any preferred outcome in any particular case. The judge's only obligation - and it's a solemn obligation - is to the rule of law.
Who are these patriots?

And if you search google, there are hundreds more purity troll comments just like these.
And not one of them has a DKos UID under 150,000. :)
