I've been slow to do that for a number of different reasons, most of which relate to my insider-y-ness. I've always preferred focusing on positive ways we can build the progressive movement, rather than worrying about what the DLC is doing. And I much prefer beating up on Republicans than on Democrats, even Democrats I don't agree with. Although I line up on the opposite side of them on a great many issues, I have a more nuanced view of them than most netroots members. But Glenn's post and Ford's attack of anti-war Democrats and the anti-Semitic attack on Meet the Press stirred me to write something.
