About

Jim Hoft, founder and proprietor of The Gateway Pundit, brings you the new online project “Progressives Today.”

Many Americans who consider themselves left of center have an antiquated sense of today’s Democrat party. This is not their father’s Democratic party. Democrats today are controlled by, and answer to, the most radical elements of their party. Yet, with cover generously provided by the mainstream media, progressives are able to push their influence in the shadows. And they have no shame.

Progressives Today follows and publicly exposes the radical elements of the institutional left. It will be the go to resource for all elements of the progressive movement through old school investigative journalism. We will cover their conferences with undercover reporters, we will interview their leaders, we will follow their writings, teachings, social media presence. Our goal is to finally hold the left accountable for their radical opinions, their destructive policies and their dangerous anti-American agenda.

One of the goals of PT, in addition to simply exposing progressives, is to expose their views to moderates and Democrats so that a choice must be made. It is our strong belief that, Progressives Today will cause many on the left to re-evaluate their political alliances.

If anyone is really interested in this they could check the FEC fillings. hrmjustin Dec 2015 #6

You keep calling that a "lying source" but fail to demostrate where they lied. Why? George II Dec 2015 #10

My OP demonstrates they flat out lied about Sanders before. That makes it a lying source. merrily Dec 2015 #11

No it doesn't. All the OP does is say that YOU think they lied. You haven't posted a single... George II Dec 2015 #14

Untrue, George. My OP linked to two threads, one of which was based on a merrily Dec 2015 #15

"Based" on a story, but you never say anything specific about the story or provide... George II Dec 2015 #61

Why are you attacking the op instead of your associate who posted a link to a racist rw site? beam me up scottie Dec 2015 #63
