ArcXIX Dos blogger who started Palin rumors identified?

redstate.com ^ | Erick Erickson

[minus_273]

ArcXIX is the Kos diarist who started all this stuff on the Palin family and the baby. ArcXIX has pushed the story that Sarah Palin's youngest child is really Bristol Palin's child.

If you go here, you will find a profile of a user at the 1up.com website.

If you follow the Google Cache, that was oddly changed on August 31, 2008, you will notice that the user's AIM user ID is ArcXIX.

Is 24 year old Charles Hartley the diarist?

Is this the person who started all the trouble for the Palin family? And if so, is he connected to the Obama campaign? I think we should find out.

[minus_273]

maybe it is time for FR to get on this. i wonder if this 24 year old has any links to obama..

[redk]

So this is the dope we can thank for the huge audience last night. Cool.

Charles Johnson at LGF posted yesterday that these threads had been sent down the memory hole.

I went to both 1up and the google cache as linked at RedState and they are both devoid of any info. By ArcXIX’s logic, that is proof!

[minus_273]

he went and changed his entry after the Palin post on kos. the google cache updated but not yahoo. click here to see old page

[AmericaUnited]

So this is the dope we can thank for the huge audience last night. Cool.

Let's all chip in and buy him a box of $10 cigars! LOL!

[Red Badger]

First of all, if this idiot was the source for the stupid speculation that the baby is actually Bristol's, then he/she is even more stupid than your average Kossuk. The likelihood of a 17 year old having a Down Syndrome baby is pretty close to zero................

We should send him flowers and candy to thank him for getting the disaffected base fired up.

Thanks ArcXIX!!

PS: Noticed you Moonbats haven't attacked her 2 younger daughters yet. I betcha little Piper didn't eat all her veggies once. What kinda of Mother allows this??!!! But I'm sure your honed investigative powers are on this...right??
Thanks again ArcholeXIX!!

[Glenmerle]

This is from Political Junkie:

In just 48 hours, ArcXIX turned up countless old photos of the Palin family and even Bristol’s school records. In other words, this is not the work of an occasional blogger, but that of a serious opposition research team meant to make sure Gov. Palin’s political life is nasty, brutish, and short.

Google "arcxix" and there's a lot of info. Some blog theorized that he was Chris somebody (forget the last name--maybe a pseudonym?). It would be interesting to try to find more information on this guy. My guess is he/she has connections to the Obama campaign.

I tuped Charles Hartley Columbus Ohio into google and this popped up:

Red State Identifies 24-year old Charles Hartley of Columbus, Ohio as person who started Sarah Palin rumors on Saturday

[minus_273]

the 1up page was updated in feb 2008 then after the diary wasposted on Kos was scrubbed clean. I think thats too much of a coincidence. might also want to look at his other name:
AgentArc

[penelopesire]

“My guess is he/she has connections to the Obama campaign.”

It sures looks like it.

Folks, if Obama is tied to this smear job on the Palin family...it’s OVER FOR HIM...He can just pack up and go back to Ayers and the Chicago marxists and thugs.

[Dems_R_Losers]

It’s very interesting to me that our “buckhead” was identified within 48 hours of his post which simply speculated that the Dan Rather documents were forgeries. Yet we still don’t know who this person is.

[noiseman]

"Noticed you Moonbats haven't attacked her 2 younger daughters yet. I betcha little Piper didn't eat all her veggies once."

After last night's performance, I bet the moonbats are afraid even little Piper could beat the tar out of either of their candidates in a debate.

[minus_273]

he also has a Digg account where he is a supporter of obama. he went and scrubbed it recently too here is a cache

http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:swYgXKNkIoAJ:digg.com/users/AgentArc+agentarc&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us&client=firefox-a

[null and void]

If you follow the Google Cache, that was oddly changed on August 31, 2008,

Yeah.

The same odd way that half a million images of Obama's BC disappeared from google between 7/11 and 7/15?

[pnz1]

Is there a way to trace the IP addresses?

[usurper]

Thanks for the link, I have been following some of those posts.

It appears that Hillary’s people hate the moonbats as much as we do.

Bump...

You might want to watch this one.

Chris Lahane maybe? He’s pond scum personified.

[fortunate sun]

I’m sure the MSM are falling all over themselves in order to break this news first!

[Calpernia]

That is the magic of the Mahdi. :P

[Calpernia]

Sounds like a Code Pink Tribe hard at work.

[Glenmerle]

Chris Lahane maybe?

I searched again. The name "Chris Miller," a pseudonym I believe, keeps popping up. Then I found this in Google groups (alt.religion.scientology):

"The scurrilous poster had pseudonyms of " ArcXIX ", or as he is also known, "AgentArc " ...

"http://wizbangblog.com/docs/Daily-Kos-Sarah-Palin-mear.htm

"And the next day follow-up.

"http://wizbangblog.com/docs/BabyGate%202%20-%20Daily%20Kos.htm

"The writing style right off the keyboard of a "Chris Miller", an OSA insidered active in 1995 trying to "handle" the internet.

"Mark Rathbun has an affinity with the term "ARC"--it's a scientology term, and he has recently written about it here:

"http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/277790/simple_ways_for_impro..."

[silverleaf]

I thouhgt his verbiage sounded remarkably simiar to Michael Moore’s letter published on his web site. I figured Michael Moore and this poster were the same person.

Perhaps Michael Moore just picked this up and plagiarized it for his own web site

What Michael Moore wrote about Trig being Sarah’s grandchild, with photos of Bristol’s abdomen- has been removed last I looked. It is very hard to visit the Michael Moore web site- like visitng the scene of a gory train wreck

[beckysueb]

I think some good FReepers saved it.

[mabelkitty]

If he is in Columbus, Ohio, chances are he works for the State or local government, and based on Strickland’s administration, most likely doing campaign business on state time.

An offense that carries fines and jail time.

Looks like Harry’s masters as DailyKOS have pulled the Sarah Palin post by arcxix:

dailykos.com/story/2008/8/30/121350/137/486/580223

Markos also pulled his diary: arcxix.dailykos.com/

Word has it that some of the right wing blogosphere types traced the IP for arcxix and it led to none other than…

Wait for it….

Wait for it….

AKP Media via a couple of different web sites.

Oh, that didn’t do it for you huh?

How about David Plouffe - BarryO’s campaign manager.

Expect this one to explode soon.

Naughty, naughty, naughty…

Wow! Wow! Hope this isn’t a fake planted story.

[beckysueb]

This is hugh! I hope this materializes into Obama getting busted. I hope some of the moonbats are lurking here and reading this thread. They are going to soil themselves. LOL

well look at this:

agentarc is definitely the man. agentarc=arcxix=charles heartily

[Glenmerle]

Excellent job, Red State! I hope they find out for certain that this is Hartley--and then find out if the sleaze works for the Obama campaign.

[mabelkitty]

Send this to O’Reilly.
Bill needs to ask Obama about this - afterall, he was going to fire anybody identified as being connected to this, right?

[listenhillary]

David Plouffe From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Plouffe (born circa 1967) is the campaign manager for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign in the United States. A long-time Democratic Party campaign consultant, he is a partner at the party-aligned campaign consulting firm AKP&D Message and Media, which he joined in 2000.[1]

Plouffe also maintains discipline over communications in the campaign, including controlling leaks and releasing information about the campaign on its terms. Averse to publicity himself, Plouffe's control over the internal workings of the Obama campaign successfully avoided the publicly aired squabbles that frequently trouble other campaigns.

[Glenmerle]

might also want to look at his other name: AgentArc

Thanks. I was so busy looking on the web I missed this.

[penelopesire]

Rutt Roh!! LOL!! We need to be looking into Axelrod too....he has lots of skeletons in the closet!

[NEPA]

I love threads like this. All the sleuthing (everybody wants to be the next Buckhead!).

That's quite a bit of research you've done there.

I hope we get to the bottom of the disgusting attacks against the Palins, especially Bristol.

Obama has a history of getting opponents out of the way without looking like the culprit.

I hope this time it bites him in the ass.
