Lieberman loses. US left wants more blood. Stalin would be proud.

US Democrat 2000 vice-President candidate, Joe Lieberman, was defeated in a Democrat primary election on Tuesday.
Left-wing Internet blog sites are slapping each other on the back, claiming part of the credit for the his defeat.
The atmosphere in the left-wing blogosphere was of extreme jubilation when the result was announced. Considering all the results that haven't gone their way the last 6 years, maybe they had cause for celebration.

2000 Bush Win
2000 Election Supreme Court challenge fails
2001 Invasion of Afghanistan
2003 Invasion of Iraq
2004 Bush Win
2006 Karl Rove avoids indictment

Each of these issues/events caused much disappointment for the US left. I traveled the net extensively while all these events were occurring, and the anger and frustration I observed was startling. When Bush adviser Karl Rove survived indictment in the
Valerie Plame affair, the US left were devastated. What increased their devastation was the level of expectation they had when the believed that Rove would be indicted. Several times it was reported that Rove was definitely being indicted. Each time the US left went into hard core celebration and each time they were let down. The same happened during the elections.

The defeat of Lieberman sent one of the major left-wing sites (www.democraticunderground.com) into a scene of rabid jubilation. But it didn't take long for the knives to come out.
Calls for a takeover of the party were everywhere.
Democrats who did not support a cut-and-run policy were being targeted.
And all this was happening using the harshest of language and open slather slander. It was not a scene of political discussion, the only way to describe it would be that of a mob riot.
Meanwhile Mike Moore came out of hiding and released a message threatening to make non-left Democrats pay for their crimes. The revolution had started!!!

Just one problem.

The Republicans are untouched.

At least during the Russian Revolution they overthrew the Monarchy before sending their own to the Gulag.
The Democrats are purging their own members first.
Then what?
The Democrats will have no hope of winning in 2008 if the moderates are exiled or shot. People will not vote for a Democrat party that swings too far to the left. Mike Moore is electoral poison.

The Democrat left might as well enjoy the moment. Drink the wine, Cut off some heads, Storm the Bastille and then settle down for 10 more years of Republicans.
