I mean, this should be self-evident for a long time DUer. Do you think Jack Pine Radicals was attacking democrats from the right? No, they were posting leftist attacks on Democrats. If they're still around, they probably still do.

There are plenty of left wing media that will attack democrats with lies and spin and suggesting that it's only coming from the right wing gives these attacks a free pass.
