[Q]

...but we shouldn't underestimate the forces that stand in the way of that goal. Many rank and file Democrats are still under the illusion that the New Democrats have their best interests in mind. They could never imagine that they have cooperated with the Bush government to weaken and eliminate competition from the left.

They FEAR the emergence of a strong leader on the left that could lead a grassroots effort to take the party away from the New Democrats and give it back to the people. If you're wondering why the Neodems are so vicious towards populists like Dean and 'liberals' like Moore...it's because they're causing an awakening that could do them great damage and expose the charade.
