Its called "Primary Colors."

They rank each Democrat based on how liberal their record is vs how liberal you'd expect them to be. Those who aren't as progressive as you'd expect should be targeted for primaries.

More or less reasonable approach. At least - much more then those of "activists": "either you are with us completely or you are our enemy...." BTW - Matheson, McIntyre and Barrow turn to be "good Democrats", and i am in complete agreement with that...

I would recommend Republicans to do the same.. But in their case most primaries would come "from the left", because typical Republican is, usually, more conservative then fits the district...)))
Tim Walberg in MI-07 fits this description.

lolwut? They aren't saying things like 'Ted Cruz is Hitler' or 'Straight people are as good as people who have sex with dogs'.

They aren't trying to limit constitutional rights to straight people either.
Dude first off I wasn't accusing of this group that want to primary Dems from the left of using inflammatory rhetoric.

The Republicans aren't for Gay Marriage. I just don't see why Dems like yourself have to make a thing about it.

I don't understand why Chuck Schumer isn't flagged up for removal, but Angus King is. That alone makes me highly suspicious of the rankings used.
You guys want to get rid of Schumer? I don't see why.

You were accusing of them making a left-wing Tea Party. Those are things we've seen at protests, and what the leaders of this godawful group have said in countless interviews

Oh, and we care about the rights of human beings. You know.
No what I was saying was this Dem group is giving Dems primaries from the left the way Tea Partiers are giving Tea Partiers challenges to the right of Establishment Republicans. That's all. It looks like that guy had to much coffee in the morning in that video. He was acting a little crazy.
