1) He said 15% of the Democratic Party, not the population at large. I'm not in a position to verify or refute that number (although it sounds about right)--just noting the distinction.

2) Wrong. In fact, I would argue that DINOs like Lieberman do MORE to hurt our cause in a way than rabid right-wingers, because they make US look more MARGINAL. "Look, even the people on their side don't support them..." What exactly has Lieberman done for equal rights that a Republican wouldn't do?

I'm with sui, as are many other GLBT Americans who are tired of being SHIT ON by their own party. If the Dem candidate turns out to be another waffler, don't bother knocking on my door with your hand out. Enough is enough.

3) It was the OP that was obvious flamebait. If you don't want a "circular firing squad," then don't contrive two different "teams" and hand out rifles.
