Mobilizing for "Macaca"
Kos gives orders to his troops, telling them to record every moment of every Republican candidate's appearances:
Every appearance by a top Republican official or candidate should be recorded. Every one of them.All it takes is one "Macaca" incident to transform a race or create one where one didn't exist. As the Montana incident blogged earlier today showed, a video can knock out prospective candidates before they even enter.And this is no longer about finding one big blunder to put on a campaign commercial. It's about using video and (free) technologies like YouTube to build narratives about opponents, using their own words, at their own events.
It's never too early to start.
We've got a long, difficult slog ahead of us next year. The more material we amass today, the better we'll able to use that video to support our efforts next year.
Well, I'd say he should also be ordering them to shoot every moment of every appearance of every Democratic candidate -- for why not create your own narrative rather than leave it to a bunch of GOP shooters? (via TechRepublican)

Recording on video every moment of your political opponents' public appearances can be viewed as fair now that the other side has been advised. But the possibility of film being doctored to help the angry left win elections is also great. These are unscrupulous people, very set on getting the welfare state moving again. And growing.
