Loony Left Inquisitors Find Another Heretic

As they say, conservatives look for converts, liberals search for heretics. This is why the Democratic Party continues to become more extreme — and why its base of support continues to shrink.

The latest heretic to face a trip to the stake is Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic lobbyist who was an advisor on Hanoi John Kerry's 2004 campaign. Elmendorf's sin was to utter this blasphemy:

The bloggers and online donors represent an important resource for the party, but they are not representative of the majority you need to win elections. The trick will be to harness their energy and their money without looking like you are a captive of the activist left.

In other words, if you are going to take money from militant kooks, at least don't make it obvious that they are calling the shots, or only kooks will vote for you.

The inquisitors at Daily Kos were not amused:

Here's notice, any Democrat associated with Elmendorf will be outed. The netroots can then decide for itself whether it wants to provide some of that energy and money to that candidate.

Got that, Dems? Elmendorf is a witch, and anyone who consorts with him is probably a witch too. If you don't like it, maybe you're a witch.

Let the auto-da-fé get underway.
