Liberal group plots to catch GOP state pols being racist and sexist
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/12/2014 | Jason Russell

The leader of a group hoping to improve liberals' fortunes at the state level revealed on Friday plans to start tracking conservative state legislators based on the assumption that "someone’s going to say something about black people" or women.

“We’re working with David Brock and Media Matters and American Bridge who have trackers that we can send out to monitor the debate on some bills that you all might be running," Nick Rathod, executive director of SiX, said. "I think in many legislatures my understanding is that a lot of legislatures stream their floor debates but don’t necessarily transcribe it or capture it in any kind of way. And so we want to start capturing them on that. I think we know, someone’s going to say something about black people. Someone’s going to say something about women. Someone is going to say something.”

American Bridge is a liberal opposition research organization aims to unearth embarrassing information about Republicans. According to their website, they "monitor public appearances to prevent the cynical pandering that results in a candidate taking different positions depending on the audience they are in front of."

Media Matters for America is a liberal group that tries to monitor the conservative media.

The formation of SiX comes at a time when Democrats are on their heels in the states after getting pummeled in the 2010 and 2014 elections.

I guess this is all they’ve got at this point.

As most of us knew, one day the liberal well would run dry

They WILL find evidence. Even if they have to concoct it.

Since GOP-e politicians are just as racist as the Democrats, it ain’t too hard to find. But they will wear that out quickly, and their own racism won’t be so easily hidden too.

A surprising story, since liberals have been ‘watching’ for this for decades. Nothing new.

The real fun begins when they find it all throughout the democrat party and get caught trying to hide it.

Even though the Dems are quite transparent about it, if one simply looks.

We all despise racist politicians (eg the Black Congressionally Caucus).

But at the end of the day — it is about policy, not attitudes towards skin color.

The Democrats, the party of the Ku Klux Klan, Segregation, George Wallace, the Knights of the Golden Circle, Bull Connor, Jim Crow, Woodrow Wilson, Japanese-American internment, etc. are watching the GOP? Hahahahahaha!

They get to define racism and selectively project it. Therefore, anything and everything they capture on tape or film will “prove” that Republicans are racist.

The latest attempt at “organized” Liberal Projection™. How can we think like they do when they don’t think at all? LOL
