When an Independence Institute front group spends tens of thousands of dollars attempting to dismantle state civil rights protections by lying to petition signatories and deceiving the public on the ballot measure's true intent, Caldara has no credibility co-opting Dr. King's life work for a partisan speech loaded with conservative code words.

It's repugnant, it's the height of hypocrisy and it needs to be called out.

This is the Independent's idea of a zinger on the right? Sorry, but hyper-sensitivity doesn't substitute for solid reporting. Wendy, you know better than this. Fabricating outrage appears to be more important than doing solid reporting, which is why CIM jettisoned the few serious reporters on staff. Jason Kosena would have never written this. Really?
