New Dem Site Seeks GOP “Macaca” Moments

New Dem Site Seeks GOP “Macaca” Moments June 29, 2010 - 11:50 AM | by: Kimberly Schwandt

In a strong sign that YouTube videos and camera phones will be ever-important in this year’s election, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is launching a new program called “The Accountability Project” encouraging anyone to upload videos catching and “documenting” Republican candidates at public events.

They are hoping to then point-out any “misinformation, lies and double-speak” they see from “candidates try to make misleading attacks and false claims under the radar,” the DNC said in a release announcing the project.

The DNC move is a sure sign that “macaca” moments are now a regular part of the political landscape. The term “macaca moment” quickly became part of the political lexicon in 2006 when Republican Senatorial candidate George Allen used the term “macaca” in reference to an India-American aide to his opponent taping an event. He later apologized for using the derogatory term saying he didn’t know what it meant. Allen ended up losing his re-election to Democratic challenger, Jim Webb.

The DNC pointed to that very instance in their announcement, saying, “It was just one moment. Who knows what else is being said when the cameras aren't running?”

We need to catch someone republican saying welfare isn’t for minorities and defectives but for good Americans. Yea, that would be sweet.

This only highlights the desperation in the Democrat camp. They hope to do to GOP candidates what they did to George Allen. All candidates make gaffes -what makes it a liability is the willingness of the media to play it up 24/7. And, for now, the Dems still have that. The media are still their Useful Idiots.

The media colluded with the Democrats for the past umpteen election cycles.

Mark Halperin and others are as corrupt as f***. They know it. They defend it. They want their side to win.

They have to do this.

They have play racism, call names, etc.

On the actual issues they are getting destroyed.

I’ll bet anything some sexual scandal - even against a democrat - etc comes out because they have to distract people from the serious things. Remember Monica when Clinton should have been charged for treason over China, not sex.

You mean like if you have a healthcare plan or a doctor you like you can keep them and pay less?
