The left doesn't have the cojones or ability for 'revolution'. Here in SF during the run-up to the war, the liberals thought they could grind down the economy with 'direct action', as in tying up city traffic for weeks on end.

As it turned out, it ended quickly because the rabid revolutionary liberals were just pissing off the more pragmatic reasonable liberals who actually had jobs.

I agree with your take that it's more likely the radicals will over-reach and get smacked down with a major loss of credibility of the Dem party.

I expect they will continue to lose elections and increase the shrillness of their rhetoric in a self-reinforcing process. They will try increasingly absurd tactics until the mainstream begins treating them as the enemies they are.

Agreed for the most part. BUT, they are pretty good at UBL tactics; hit and run, slink of into the crowds after their dirty deeds. They will resort to their own form of terrroism, uh, HAVE resorted to their own form of terrorism on civil society. Would that Homeland Security saw it the same way.

See above ;^)
