Reply #12: I'm not at all surprised.

Anytime I see someone claiming to be a liberal or progressive who is trashing Democratic candidates or elected officials systematically and repeatedly online, my alarm bells go off. I have no way to determine whether such a person is legitimate or not, but it sure raises my suspicions. It's not an accusation I'd ever make against a particular individual, because it's impossible to know, but the suspicion is there sometimes.

There are a few cases on other sites than DU where I know that a person is posting on both a left-wing and right-wing site simultaneously, but that's a rare event, and I'm not a member of either site, so I have no voice there.
