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.
The comments came at the first ever conference of the State Innovation Exchange (SiX), the Left’s attempt to counter conservative policy successes that have followed Republican victories at the state level.
“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.”

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. After this November's losses, Democrats fully controlled the governorship and state legislatures in just seven states, compared to 24 states for Republicans. The group was formed by the merger of three progressive groups: the American Legislative & Issue Campaign Exchange, the Progressive States Network, and the Center for State Innovation.

Described in this Slate OpEd:
"The Democratic Party’s losses at the state level are almost unprecedented, and could cripple it for a long time to come."
"........With that said, there are more costs to Democratic weakness in the states than just House elections. States are where parties build talent and try new ideas. Here, the GOP is instructive. Its brightest stars are either governors (Scott Walker, John Kasich, and Chris Christie) or former state officeholders (Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Joni Ernst). And Republican-controlled statehouses have been incubators for conservative ideas, from experiments in tax cutting (Bobby Jindal’s Louisiana and Sam Brownback’s Kansas) to full-fledged assaults on public-sector unions (Walker’s Wisconsin and Christie’s New Jersey). In all likelihood, the next Republican president will either come from the states, or will borrow his approach from the present generation of GOP governors. Likewise, if Democrats win the White House for a third term, they’ll face opposition from Congress and empowered Republican majorities at the state level. Indeed, if not for statehouse Republicans, the Affordable Care Act would be a smoother project, with broader buy-in for exchanges and the Medicaid expansion.
Democrats might have strong national prospects in the form of Hillary Clinton, but they have little to look to in the states. Only a few places stand as incubators for progressive strategies and ideas, and nationwide, Democrats have close to nothing in the way of a bench for federal and statewide office. The liberal counterparts to Walker, Christie, Brownback, and Mike Pence—ideologically motivated governors with national profiles—don’t exist. And as a result, liberals can’t point to a forward-looking agenda that exists outside the bounds of the presidency......"

Front Page: “What Democrats Really Need is a Massive Resettlement Program.”..... "If only there were some sort of program that could “resettle” likely Democratic voters in America. Say a refugee program. And maybe tie that in with open borders and assorted incentives and it looks a whole lot like a resettlement program.
And now you know the rest of the story."
“Just a few years back he would be getting my coffee” Clinton in the presence of fat heat ted about Obama,
He’s a nice black man because of the way he speaks, he doesnt speak like the rest” joe biden. Senator fat head ted talking about sandwiching interns, bubba and his sexual encounters as president, Oh I forgot and so did the liberal group investigating conservatives, these guys are exempt

F them.
".....This is an extraordinary series of events, of a type that we haven't witnessed before. Even more singular is the legacy media's insistence on covering the story (with the exception of the siege of Madison, which got the standard "unions unbound" treatment) as if it were commonplace to the point of boredom. It is no such thing; it is an ideological campaign of a magnitude and breadth that we have not seen in quite some time, if ever.
What all this amounts to is the baptism of fire of what I have taken to calling the "liberal superstructure." This superstructure is the vast constellation of advocacy groups, think tanks, single-issue outfits, unions, and various other flotsam constructed by the left over the past half-century or so. There are literally thousands of these groups, ranging from the ACLU and the Sierra Club with their hundreds of thousands of members to the local "Friends of the People's Venezuela" outfit which amounts to a retired feminism professor and her six cats. These organizations are ubiquitous, universal, and networked to a fare-thee- well. They are also liberalism's last great hope of controlling politics in the United States.
It's scarcely arguable that, in the political sense, liberalism is on the ropes. Obama spent their last nickel. They have lost the House and will lose the Senate, with little chance of regaining them in the near future. The same is true of the White House once the messiah gets the bum's rush come 2012. Liberalism is on the skids, its programs uniform failures, its ideology barren, its slogans worn out, its long hold on the independents being relentlessly pared down by the Tea Parties.
So what is a political movement to do, particularly one as fanatic and apocalyptic as this one? Well, if you have an alternate system made up of outside organizations not subject to governmental oversight, a system populated with self-selected fanatics and true believers, a system poised and ready to march, you can do what was done in Wisconsin. You can turn the superstructure loose to threaten the public peace, smash things up, abuse the electoral process, create a media spectacle, and pressure the state to do things your way. You can use nonpolitical organizations (in the electoral sense) to get a political result.
All the groups involved in the Wisconsin campaign were superstructure groups. The unions, the very core organizations of the superstructure, without which it's no more than a pack of vegetarians and aging hippies. The media, which serves as its propaganda arm. And the judiciary, which is broadly infiltrated by leftist partisans whose allegiance has been awarded to something other than the law.
But it's when we review the Prosser accusations that the picture attains clarity. According to Byron York, the story (which had been held back for nearly two weeks) was first reported by the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism working with Wisconsin Public Radio. (Two guesses as to which end of the spectrum they lean toward.) The Prosser story was billed as the result of a project funded by the Open Society Institute to enlighten the public about Wisconsin government.
The report was picked up by ThinkProgress, the strike force for the Center for American Progress, which both tweeted and posted the story, as well as calling for Justice Prosser's ouster.
The interesting thing here is that the Open Society and the Center for American Progress are the flagship organizations of the liberal superstructure, the outfits that call the shots, handle the funding, and coordinate efforts. They are also funded by Old Spooky himself, George Soros. The left rolled out their big units for this effort. Why? To wreck the career of a junior state Supreme Court justice? To take control of the Dairy State? Perhaps so, but I believe it was also in hopes of testing out the superstructure as a political delivery system in a relatively closed environment.
If that's the case, they'll need to reevaluate, because the effort has blown up in their faces. Take a closer look at the Prosser accusation, which fell apart as soon as a little basic reporting was carried out. Almost every point made in the story released by the Soros groups turned out to be false:......." Democrats Unveil the Weapon of the Future
But what if people really don’t care?
The racist name calling has been overplayed. That’s why white people are fleeing the Democrat party.
SEXIST!
I don't see any womyn in Obama's Secret Service detail? They are generals in the army, fit to be soldiers, equal to men, yet not a single one in the President's Secret Service Detail?
How sexist.
This will fail for the simple reason they already own the people who would be offended by “sexist or racist” remarks.
As someone else has posted, they have overplayed the race card and the sexist card.
They have declared that if you have light skin you are a racist, and if you are male, you are sexist.
The irony of those statements is lost on the socialist left who would remake America into a socialist utopia.
The “media” have been playing this role for decades... laying traps and ensnaring Repubs and Conservatives in their words, spoken and unspoken. This is nothing our side isn’t already facing. People on the good side simply have to watch their words and avoid the Akin-Mourdick Syndrome.
It's simple. Don't generalize. Stick to the facts. Don't assume anything about anyone because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality etc. Those were things we learned in education courses back in the 1960s, for heavens sake.
Here in a nutshell is the difference between the parties. The Democrats plan to respond to Republican policy successes by intensifying the gaffe patrol and doubling down on identify politics.
There is not a word said about countering Republican policy successes by contesting the battle of ideas and developing a coherent set of alternative policies.
Ooooooh! That’s wacist!/s
Everyone is Racist Sexist Bigot Homophobe
And who cares. Do you think the faggots don’t make disparaging remarks about straights and straight sex. Blacks make fun of the crackers all the time. Not only do Christians make remarks about Jews, but Jews make remarks about Shicksas.
We need more Don Rickle types to DESENSITIZE and put people’s foibles out there...not hide them in a closet
“I think we know, someone’s going to say something about black people.”
And why would you belittle colored people by telling them what to be offended by? They have a brain also and can think for themselves.
“Socialist utopia” is an oxymoron.
True, but who else besides a moron would think utopia is possible.
The race vultures maintain that evil, white racism is still holding down blacks fifty years after the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights bill with affirmative discrimination er action and the election of a black president. The thing is only blacks and guilty white libs believe that lie.
Another operation from the Nazi Soros. BTW, Nick Rathod of SIX is a racist and a sexist.
