The only problem online is, you can never be sure with whom you're doing battle.

Nor can you tell what their true agenda might be. You Better Believe It!
8. "Liberals can get as pugilistic with each other as they do with conservatives: This is a harmonic of #7 but it has its own, more aggressive, slant. Its well documented that liberals can sometimes overreact to slights and insults from conservatives, perhaps far more vehemently than needed, but even with each other? Yes. Certainly during this most recent NSA scandal, Ive watched conversations amongst liberals explode into slings and arrows in a way that has been particularly distasteful (debating whether or not Obama is a fascist Machiavellian looking to oppress the masses by tapping their phones is rife with pugilistic possibilities). Ive been verbally attacked myself by other liberals for not feeling as strongly as they do that he is, in fact, all that and more. I often wonder if we were doing this on the front porch instead of online if wed actually come to blows. I wouldnt be surprised."

(12,081 posts)2. I would say it's more like liberal vs. blue dog
I think it will eventually lead to a split where the liberals actually break off and go Green Party.

I don't think Obama, or the Democratic Party, or many of those who call themselves "liberal" or are called "liberal" by the media are really all that liberal; some aren't at all "liberal."
