The Cabal: DB design for tracking

Thu Feb 24, 2005 at 10:56:33 AM PDT

On Tuesday, February 22, Steven D wrote a lengthy blog about the Council for National Policy, a secretive extreme right wing organization with a byzantine maze of organizations and people they
use to orchestrate their dream for America - their dream and our nightmare.

In addition to Steven D's information, the comments were full of links and references on this group.  I asked Steven if he had put his information into a database and offered to design one if he had not.  Collecting information into a searchable database will keep data organized and ready for analysis.

This diary is to offer a design for the database and to seek comments about the design.  More below -->.

DLC demonizing segment of the Dem Party

Sat Dec 04, 2004 at 11:08:25 AM PDT

A story by Matt Taibbi in the New York Press NO MORE MOORE:  The DLC joins the witch-hunt reports that Al From, CEO, Democratic Leadership Council, and Will Marshall, President of the Progressive Policy Institute, the think-tank of the DLC, have called for the repudiation of Michael Moore as "insultingly anti-American" and that "he doesn't speak for us when it comes to speaking up for our country."

By demonizing Moore, it would appear that they are demonizing a lot of people who are the party's main support.  Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

Calling the DLC comments McCarthyite tactics, Taibbi goes on to give chapter and verse on how many people have seen Fahrenheit 9/11 and particularly how many Democrats and Independents agreed with Moore on 9/11 -- 89 and 70 percent respectively.  There's more to his discussion than that, so check out the link and read up.  The effect of this article on me is one of the last straw.

Now I have been a registered Democrat from my first vote at the age of 21 for John F. Kennedy, and my discontent with the party . . .
