Democrats seek 'Macaca' moments
Politico ^ | June 29, 2010 | MIKE ALLEN |

Posted on 06/29/2010 7:50:14 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

The Democratic National Committee is seeking “Macaca” moments. The party today is opening a website, www.accountabilityproject.com, designed to recruit and display embarrassing audio and video of Republican candidates, as well as information about their schedules and copies of their mailers.

Campaigns have long made videotapes of each other, using “trackers” who follow the opposition from event to event. It was a young tracker who shot the video footage of then-Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) that wound up sinking his campaign.

The DNC hopes campaigns and journalists will use the footage in ads and news coverage. The site targets both 2010 candidates and 2012 hopefuls.

“[R]egular citizens can upload video or audio they’ve captured at pubic campaign events, and they can upload event information for upcoming campaign appearances by Republican candidates so others can attend and hold Republicans accountable of they don't tell the truth.,” a DNC official said. “Unlike YouTube where you can only upload video, … users can download high quality videos from the site for clipping and using for their own projects (web videos, ads, etc).”

I wonder if the Rats realize how many 'Macaca' moments their own side has already generated?

An opposite should be created using just quotes from Biden and his Holiness. That’s all we would need.

Why does the Dem party feel they need to spend money on this, they have the WAPO, NYT, Chic Tribune, and LAT do this pro bono during every election cycle? Its what MSM call news.

They don’t have to look to far. Macaca moments occur all day, every day as Obama enters the Oval Office to act as the president.

The democrats offer up moronic statements all the time, many many more opportunities, from what I see.

Why doesn't OUR side grow some stones and start playing by the same damn rules? Its as if they don't WANT to win.

Any bets that they’re going to pay big bucks for them too?

Do note that Joe Biden could dance down the street singing
“My Macaca, MY MACACA!!” and the press would take no notice at all..

Just ask the ‘smartass’ ice cream guy...

Yes, of course, and even a genocidal murderer like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Che, etc. can be “whitewashed of all sins”....=.=

This is the best they’ve got . . . and they know it.

Losers across the spectrum on every issue.

“I wonder if the Rats realize how many ‘Macaca’ moments their own side has already generated?”

The democrat party has almost total control of 90% of the major media outlets, which endlessly cover up all the amazing gaffes from Obama, Biden, Pelosi, ad nauseum.

Republicans receive pure character assassination from CNN, Associated Press, NBC, etc.

Exactly. They know they can’t win on the issues, and thus they’re reduced to trying to trip up their opponents and generate another phony word scandal.

Give me a break.

Democrats and accountability are two words that don’t belong in the same sentence. These people know nothing about accountability; only lies.

So what’s new? They set up a website based on lies.

Oh good. I think "regular citizens" ought to upload a terabyte, or two, a day of video and audio captured at campaign events. Let the DNC comb through all of that looking for dirt.

The site professes itself a “grassroots, volunteer project” but is officially sponsored by the DNC.

This can certainly work both ways, if only the GOP had the guts to do it.
