DNC...Capture The 'Macaca Moment' (heads up tea partiers)
TPM ^ | June 28, 2010 | Christina Bellantoni

Posted on 06/29/2010 2:48:27 PM PDT by patlin

The Democratic National Committee today is launching a new effort to allow citizens on their side "keep track" of Republican candidates on every ballot nationwide, in hopes of a voter capturing a so-called "macaca moment." The DNC's latest effort to influence the midterm elections...

Here is part of the DNC's "Best Practices for Filming Public Events":

Don't misrepresent who you are or why you are there. Always tell the truth. Never state that you are an employee or agent of the Democratic National Committee or any campaign or that you are working on their behalf. http://accountabilityproject.com/page/content/ap/find/

this gives a whole new meaning to don't ask, don't tell. I say we go up to every person with a camera at an event, introduce ourselves and see how they reciprocate.

It is imperative that we not let this kind of intimidation crap influence us. We are right in our views and right in our positions. To be fearful and apologetic gives them a victory without firing a shot.

The left has been one huge Macaca moment since November of 2008. The RINO’s and alleged intellects in the GOP have given them an 18 month pass. We need to be looking at who out there is willing to kick them in the shins and grin while doing it.

They will just make stuff up. Like Clyburn did in March.

I say both - perspiration as a result of desperation.

Lying to an infidel is OK if it advances Islam. I guess that applies to Marxism too.

It certainly does, starting with Pete Stark’s claim that our borders are secure.

Earlier they had a video up of Sen. DeMint’s speech at CPAC.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl3fi72KDIc&feature=related ) All I could do was laugh. Of course it is now removed but if that’s all they’ve got to show as an example, they truly are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for ideas.

But on the other hand, we know their tactics & we ALL should keep an eye on their list of events they plan to infiltrated.

At both of the tea party events I've been to, people have done exactly that when they saw me with my camera. I'm proud to tell them I'm a private citizen and the photos will end up on Free Republic.

My husband was mortified when he found out I had been interviewed by the local media. He has since had his “COME TO ADAMS” tea party moment and no longer discourages me. On the contrary, he is beating the drum from the upper plains to the west coast every week promoting the cause.

Keep that camera rolling, we'll need all we can get to prove them wrong.

This is ridiculous. Democrats say dumb things whenever they open their mouths.

Hahahahaahaaa.

Liberals are mean-spirited, soulless ghosts.

They risk conversion of some of the liberals doing the research.

All We The People have to do is wait for Joe Biden to open his mouth or Barry Obama to tell another lie.

Re-Imagine a USA with no liberals diddling on the US Constitution.

Go to EBAY and search “spy cameras” ~~ they’ve got some awesome items . . . some hang around your neck and cost around $20 . . . LOTS there.

So have TWO cameras with you . . . the one you’re recording on and the “necklace, or button or glasses” recording a second opinion.

LOL, this is going to fill up YouTube and Brietbart too.

Too funny! And great video too. Thanks!

That said I've seen amateur and professional 'news' people trolling Tea Party events looking for the most outlandish people they can find to interview.

Got this from the DNC via e-mail today. They somehow got the idea that I'm a dim. Decided long ago it might be to our advantage to keep an eye on what they are up to.

But this election season, we're putting together one of the most ambitious midterm campaign programs in American political history. We've never had this much staff on the ground in a non-presidential election, and we're doing everything we can to reach out to the 15 million folks who voted for the first time in 2008 to get them back to the polls this fall.
