"Both swiftboating Kerry. In fact, the hard left is just infiltrators from the right pretending to be left."
That's a reasonable summary, I think, of what I've been reading today.
Fabulous.
When the Right "swiftboated" Kerry, they made up lies and used these lies to attack Kerry. The swiftboating from the Left - which is exactly the same as from the Right, dont'cha know - simply points out well-known facts. But if you're Left of the Third Way, facts are apparently as unfair as lies.
Okey-Dokey.
As to the Left being the Right in disguise... what seems to qualify as being "Hard Left" these days is wanting:
- an end to the Bush/Obama Spy on Everyone program
- Medicare for all
- fair taxation of the wealthy - repealing the other two-thirds 82% of the Bush tax cuts would be a good start
- a dramatic reduction of our military, and keeping them out of murderous mischief
- US laws to apply to bankers the same they apply to the rest of us
- economic policy that gives the 99% a fair shake
Anarchy! No actual Democrat could want such things! Must be a Republican operative or stealth Libertarian!
Well, guess what: Last time I checked, roughly two-thirds of Americans were also in favor of each of these things.
Hard Left, my ass. We're the middle. Sorry that's so #%^*ing unreasonable.
