Art Pope & his Civitas Org One Again Attempt to Intimidate the Left in NC (schoolyard bully tactics)

Last edited Thu Jan 22, 2015, 09:48 PM - Edit history (1)

The same-old, conservative plutocrats are already busy at work. In fact they have been quite busy, putting together an attack campaign against some great NC organizations: mappingtheleft.com. This site diagrams all donors, and social justice organizations in NC in an attempt to string together some fictional web of "socialist influence".

This venture was backed by Civitas, by the way. Once again, these guys have become the butt of their own joke. Their project tracks down hundreds of North Carolinians and organizations, doing great work to make this state better everyday. The collective of these ordinary people, and their dedication to a better state is so powerful - they threaten Civitas and their mega-millionaire funders.

Let's tell Civitas that the great people of North Carolina, are more powerful than their millions!

What does it look like if we map the right? Well that network would be a lot smaller. In fact, it looks a lot like one person. Art Pope.

(I received the above email messages from restorenc.org)

I went to their website of alleged "vast left influence" in NC. It listed Van Jones, among others who DO NOT LIVE OR WORK in NC.

This is similar to their comments about the Moral Monday protesters insisting that most were from "out of state". They were ALL NC residents.

Art Pope just can't get it right, it seems. He lists names on his "vast Left influence" "mappingtheleft" website of people who don't live or work in NC. And when referring to MM protesters, he claimed most were from 'outside' NC. What a dope.

This is yet another 'Schoolyard Bullying' type attempt by Art Pope to intimidate Democrats and Progressives in NC by 'doxing' them online. He did something similar in the past as well - listing Democrats names online in an attempt to intimidate.

Next thing you know, they'll be accusing the ghost of Andy Griffith of being a left-wing Commie-Pinko.

Seriously. It's embarrassing that these knuckle-draggers can't evolve beyond intimidation and name-calling. THIS is how they behave. Really?

Those smilies were needed. Wish I had more to choose from.
