They Must All Go!
Whiskey Bar's July 26 Cease Fire Violation is remarkably restrained considering the topic--Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's call Monday for a cease-fire among warring factions of the Democratic Party.
Considering the DLCs Blueprint Magazine piece Liberal's War July 22, 2005,
in which Peter Ross Range (the Blueprint editor) attacks the blogging community--what Billmon terms the "intellectual bloodstream of the Democratic Party "-- it appears the DLC is not only comprised of gutless morons, but has decided to commit public suicide.
As Billmon notes, "For the first time since I don't know when -- maybe ever -- there's actually an intellectual faction within the Democratic Party that doesn't have to go crawling to Big Business or Shrinking Labor for its supper."
And what does the DLC do?
I suppose the day had to come sooner or later when the national leadership of the Democratic Party would be seen for what it is: the minority wing of the political system that has declared war on its worst enemy--the American people.
While Whiskey Bar's illustrious editor suggests maybe it would be better if the two camps just sort of ignored each other, to "Live and let live," I'm of another mind. Something more along the lines of the Argentine Pequeteros' motto Que se vayan todos!
