Like a detective on a trail, I'm all over this Ellie Light thing (still), the next tidbit I will point you to is the actual meaning of the name and the potential allusion to the Obama campaign symbol and a few other theories like the Cass Sunstein/Samantha Power possibility. As everyone knows by now, the 'transparency' of the Obama administration is an illusion, I think that this story is another (potential) determining factor of just that as well. I also read a report that Ellie Light has been featured in over 60 newspapers as of now. Readers have opined that 'Ellie Light' probably votes in each city/district that the papers are located in as well.
As anyone that can do a quick Google will find, the name 'Ellie' comes from Greek name Helen lending it the meaning of "light". So obviously we can then see that the name is most likely a pseudonym for something of meaning, something particular - light.

I believe Ellie Light is a journalist by the name of Samantha Power. The meaning of the name ellie is light. An Ellie is also a national magazine award which Ms. Power won in 2005 for a piece in New Yorker magazine, entitled Dying in Darfur.

Knowing how the left doesn't do anything on accident, I can't help but wonder....................
Wasn’t there a Samantha Power who worked for Obama during his campaign, but got canned when she said something untoward about Hilary?
LOL! Thsi woman is busted. People love a good mystery.
next we are going to hear that she’s carrying Obama’s illegitimate love child
E-lite......
Or maybe it is just a first and last name taken at random by flipping through the phone book.
Same Samantha Power. Married to Cass Sunstein, Obama’s Info Czar. Called Hillary a monster, got fired, then somehow got rehired to National Security Council. Ellie Light. Cognitive Infiltrator.
Freepers rule. Well done. Like exposing Dan Blather and CBS
If they published identical pieces in multiple publications with identical nom de plumes, and did not expect to get caught, there is no underestimating their stupidity.
I’m also intrigued by this story. As much as anything, I’m surprised that the Cleveland Plain Dealer seems to have played a significant role in discovering these “thousand points of Light”.
35 Years ago The Plain Dealer was a great newspaper, and I spent countless cold winter mornings delivering to customers; lately it’s been a shameless leftist tool. Welcome back to the real world CPD !
If I was Ellie, I wouldn’t be concerned about being busted ans an cog in an astro turf scam. I’d be concerned about being revealed as having the writing and debating skills of a third grader.

She worked for Senator Barack Obama and then on his presidential campaign before she was forced to resign for referring to Hillary Clinton as a monster.
While there, she met then later married Cass Sunstein who works in the Obama administration as Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
While at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-"independent" advocates to "cognitively infiltrate" online groups and websites.
In addition to this , the latin word, Lucifer, means bearer of light. Saul Alinsky, in Rules for Radicals, dedication is to Lucifer.

That's true, but I suspect something went technically wrong with their usual cloaking system. Sort of like when FR starts giving multiple posts. There were probably not supposed to be so many of the same letter with the same name. This may prove to be the tip of the iceberg, revealing a much bigger Obamaganda push.
Very shrewd! I wondered if there something about that name.
But what gets me is, if Ellie Light is a nom-de-plume, why repeat it in 60 different papers? I would have thought someone would grok that "Ellie Light" appeared in 60 different papers, if all they did were a search for the name on an engine. Why not 60 different names? And change-up the points and superlatives???
HillBuzz is talking about this...
They’re not that smart....
;-)
I agree. In their Long March to the establish the glorious Worker's Paradise, they tend to get a bit careless and sloppy. It also reminds me of an old Dilbert punchline:
Angry Goof: "Don't underestimate me!"
Dogbert: "Oh, I could never do that."
Things are so bad that Obama has to have a shill write nice things about him!
