Is the Blue America PAC a secret RIGHT wing conspiracy?

You'd just about have to think so...

The supposedly liberal PAC, Blue America, has been actively campaigning against Democrats in races against Republicans, supposedly to punish fiscal conservatives in the Democratic Party -- including some of the very people Blue America originally supported -- but with the certainty that it will mean Democrats losing a seat in Congress and Republicans gaining it.

One of the most valuable lessons I learned in my years working in the anti-Vietnam War movement was that the some of the strangest, most seemingly self-defeating behavior on the left actually came from agents provocateurs planted by the far right and the so-called national security crowd manipulating the most logic-challenged but perennially contentious of the far left (some old leaders of which, curiously enough, were among the most vocal and strident supporters of GW Bush's singlularly ill-conceived war of conquest against Iran).


Maybe Blue America just really want to sabotage the Democratic Party's legislative majority... certainly there are elements of the far right who are much happier when the right is out of power -- since it typically has meant increased contributions from the ultra-right inherited wealth set, the folks who haven't had to perform honest labor in many generations and so devote much of their energies fighting what they see as a threat to their ever snowballing riches.

It may well be that the professional fundraisers of the left have come to the same conclusions as their vampiric colleagues on the right...
