Dems Secretly Trained Thousands of Activists to Manipulate Media, Clinton Library Docs Show

DNC coordinated with activists to 'infiltrate' talk radio

The Democratic party developed an elaborate, multi-year operation in the 1990s that deployed thousands of activists to covertly mold public opinion using talk radio, according to documents from the Clinton Presidential Library.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC), with the blessing of the Clinton White House, launched the Talk Radio Initiative (TRI) ahead of the 1996 campaign. The program trained thousands of operatives to call in to radio shows, conduct surveillance of their contents, and secretly disseminate Democratic talking points while posing as ordinary listeners.

"Volunteers must be able to keep the project confidential so as not to create the image of a ‘Democratic conspiracy' to infiltrate Detroit area talk radio shows," a 1995 TRI guide prepared by Michigan Democrats said. "Democratic performance in the 1996 elections will no doubt be affected by the success or failure of this initiative."

We DO NOT want or need to be caught doing what they are doing! We need to stay on the high road!

Hey lighten up, I like second place too.

I AM NOT going to “lighten up!”

Winning is best when you stay true to your values and win!

And, we can do that!

If you are talking about football or marbles, sure. When you are talking about survival you have to win no matter what your principals are. If we don't win this one it is not only you and your principals will disappear but everything and everyone you love.

Happy Trails Taxman.

LOL!

I’ll calm down when President Trump is re-elected and has a House and Senate watching his back!

Considering mediots are willing to eagerly parrot democrat positions and talking points, this wasn’t a hard sell.

Why should we be human trash and thugs just because they are? The best thing to do is out the little bastards.

Yes, we can spot them... Rush spotted them early on...

It’s similar to the ‘fake hate crimes’ thugs. That’s the updated version of this lowlife tactic. Anytime you think democrats aren’t totalitarians remember this kind of stuff... yes, this is the type of person who would put us in camps. Democrats used the same tactics against blacks in the Jim Crow South too... same tactics different choice of victim.

Dirty tricks - dirty people... Liberals think they’re following Alinsky but they’re not. Alinsky created ways for the powerless to fight back - NOT for democrat thugs in power to crush outsiders. Alinsky is spinning in his grave.

If we do win back the House and keep the Senate, let’s hope that they actually SUPPORT HIM this time!

I expect those Republicans running for House & Senate are going to support President Trump in their campaigns. Don’t believe Republicans can get elected by running as “Never-Trumpers.”
