Tom Bevan notes the continuation of the Stalinization of the Nutroots®:
Excuse me while I wipe down my computer keyboard. I spit Diet Coke all over it after reading [Matt] Stoller, of all people, fingering Rahm Emanuel an “extremist ideologue.” This is the sort of stuff that should scare sensible Democrats out of their minds. Rahm is a centrist. He’s a Clintonite. Six years ago years ago that wasn’t a sin. Now to a growing portion of the party, it’s grounds for excommunication. Apparently, unless you’ve taken a heavy pull from the nutroot Kool-Aid, you’re not welcome or wanted.
Who will play the roles of Kirov and Zinoviev? Stay tuned…

No, just read way too many books on the Stalin Terror years (fascinatingly lurid stuff)…
