Clinton Angers Move-on Dems With Call for Unity
 Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's call for an ideological cease-fire in the Democratic Party drew an angry reaction yesterday from liberal bloggers and others on the left, who accused her of siding with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) in a long-running dispute over the future of the party...The reaction highlighted the dilemma Democratic politicians face trying to satisfy energized activists on the left ... grassroots activists, symbolized by groups such as MoveOn.org and liberal bloggers, have assumed since the 2004 election. The most pointed critique of Clinton came in one of the most influential blogs on the left, Daily Kos... "If she wanted to give a speech to a centrist organization... she could've worked with NDN," the blog said in a reference to the New Democrat Network, ... [its about as centrist as Stalin's Politburo] ... with which Daily Kos's Markos Moulitsas is associated.
