Colorado Dems planned to "educate the idiots" (minorities)

Face the State is breaking news that a memo distributed among top ranking Colorado Democrats outlined a plan to "educate the idiots" and specifically targetted minorities among other "idiot" groups:

In a confidential internal memorandum obtained by Face The State (PDF), the Colorado Democracy Alliance outlines a roster of "operatives" who worked for Democratic victory in the 2006 general election. The document outlines specific tasks for various members of the state's liberal infrastructure, including a campaign to "educate the idiots," assigned to the state's AFL-CIO union. Among the operation's intended targets: "minorities, GED's, drop-outs."

The full memo can be found at the above link. The text in the memo lays out the following task for a Democratic operative:

Minimum Wage - wedge issue management - increasing CO union power: "Educate the Idiots" campaign, Target: minorities, GED's, drop-outs.....

The Colorado Rpeublican Party has already responded with a statement:

“It is incredible that the state’s top-level Democrats hold everyday Coloradans in such a low regard that they feel it appropriate to refer to them as idiots in their internal documents,” Wadhams said. “These are the people who work hard everyday to put food on the table; they do not deserve to be referred to as “idiots” by those who wish to exploit them for their votes.”

“One has to wonder why the people on the list thought this was ok,” Wadhams said. “This type of behavior is acceptable from no one, let alone so many who now hold leadership positions in our state government. The right thing for them to do is apologize at once, and return all tainted campaign donations they may have received.”

Democrats recognize that their supporters are idiots (their word, not mine) and that they need them in order to win.

Now, would it be unreasonable to expect that Democrat policies might encourage an increase in the number of idiots in our country?

Democrats know their own. They’re a pretty cynical bunch, aren’t they?

“One has to wonder why the people on the list thought this was ok,” Wadhams said.

It's simple. It's because they've been steeped so deeply in their elitist mindset, talking only to other elitists, that it didn't even occur to them to think that it might be anything but "ok."
