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).”

Actually, I think the Dems have cornered the market on those.

I wonder if someone would upload zero saying:

"I campainged in all 57 states, but may have missed one or two."

How long you think that would last on that site?

Oh, the Macaca moment is just the beginning. It needs to be amplified and given the proper spin by the media before it will have any effect.

They'll only be politically effective “moments” if people hear about them. The ‘Rats control the MSM, which just buries the ‘Rat gaffes. We have places like FOX and talk radio to get them out, but in many cases those are relatively small audiences (cable news) or preaching to the choir (Limbaugh et al.). Those “moments” will only get out if we pay for the air time. The ‘Rats get it for free when it comes to publicizing our gaffes. The ‘Rats always start with this structural advantage.

Perfect! Thanks Democrats. This in itself proves the Democrats have NO ideas to help the country. Tax, spend and demonize their opponents. That’s it.

We all should send them Sheets Byrd’s 2001 interview where he talked about white nig*ers.

It’s on you tube.

Is that like when VP Joe Biden called a taxpaying American employing voter a “smart ass” who “should say something nice” on tape?

Biden’s Caca alone should have its own site. He serves so much of it everyday.

The Pravda Media will again collude with the DNC to steal ANOTHER election cycle as they have tried in 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2008.

They identified George Allen as a dangerous (perhaps White House-bound) opponent, caught him in a very minor verbal gaffe, and manufactured a major scandal that “sunk his political career”. And the feckless GOP just sat and watched.

This is the sort of weak behavior that ignited the Tea Party movement. Never again. We understand that the big media does the Democrats bidding, modern mainstream journalists are merely lapdog poodles for the Left. We’re on our own folks, along with talk radio and the web.

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

Democrats and other marxists get away routinely with criminal BEHAVIOR, while normal people are attacked and ripped to shreds for their WORDS.

That is a good idea. I imagine after 3 or 4 days of getting bombarded with their own hypocrisy they will take the site down. Hypocrites do not like it when their gross stupidity and hypocrisy is constantly pointed out to them. They think their s*** doesn't stink, it is time to rub their noses in it so they can find out just how stinky and fly covered it is.

It will also scare them because they are trying to rearrange the racist, misogynist deck chairs on their Titanic in desperate hopes that if they rearrange them in just the right way they won't sink in November. Bombarding them with their own hypocrisy will serve to point out to them that their Titanic is going down like a rock and there will be no lifeboats for them nor will anyone come to rescue them.
