re: Are the dems intentionally trying to destroy

The Right was self- flagellating and reflective at this point in 2009. They basically rolled over and acted like they deserved it ( they kind of did). The Left does not have any internal constraints however because they don't have any real consistent principles. So they will just continue to turn it up to eleven and pray something sticks. So prepare for " Russians " and " KAC sat wrong on a couch" and " literally Hitler". If you've got nothing you'll try anything.
