For background on each of my main assertions in the piece see the following backgrounder:

DLC ATTACKS DEMOCRATS FOR WAGING "CLASS WARFARE"

"DLC members complained Gore in 2000 reverted to a tired class warfare message, and at the 2002 DLC meeting, Lieberman triggered an ugly split when he accused Gore of ignoring the DLC message."
- Hartford Courant, 5/7/04

"Angry DLC leaders ganged up on Al Gore, charging that his leftist, class-warfare, anticorporate message in the 2000 election turned off millions of middle-of-the-road, investor-class voters. It was bad enough the founder of the centrist-leaning DLC, Al From, and its national chairman, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, both attacked the former Democratic presidential nominee. But, Mr. Gore's former running mate, Connecticut's Sen. Joe Lieberman, also stuck the knife into the man who put him on the ticket."

DLC ATTACKS DEMOCRATS FOR BEING "ANTI-CORPORATE" DURING ENRON SCANDAL IN SUMMER OF 2002

"Angry DLC leaders ganged up on Al Gore, charging that his leftist, class-warfare, anticorporate message in the 2000 election turned off millions of middle-of-the-road, investor-class voters."
- Washington Times, 8/5/02

"Lieberman went out of his way several times in the course of his speech to urge Democrats not to appear anti-business."
- Fox News, 7/29/02

"'You can't be pro-jobs and anti-business,' said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. Lieberman, a potential 2004 presidential contender, warned of 'the twin dangers of doing too little and doing too much.'
