Right-wing 'Zombie' taunts foes on the web
The Age (AU) ^ | 9-1-06 | Jo Chandler

WHO is the Zombie behind ZOMBIETIME?

He claims to be a "photoblogger" who lives in San Francisco. For fun, he attends protests by people of opposite political inclinations to his own — the extreme left. He turns their placards against them, takes photographs and posts the images on his site.

In this vein, his happy snaps of the 2006 World Naked Bike Ride are well worth a look. But recently he has turned investigator, challenging photo agencies such as Reuters over the alleged manipulation of images and — infamously — arguing that the bombing of an ambulance in Lebanon was a hoax.

Last month, another right-wing blogger ("Blonde Sagacity, the conservative that liberals hate to love"), claimed a rare interview with the Zombie, in which he chatted about his anonymity, his tricks to obtain pictures (sometimes the camera is hidden, sometimes he plays tourist), and his motivations.

"The anti-war movement is really an anti-American movement," he told Blonde.

"The media (try) to demoralise the country by portraying the anti-war movement as reasonable, widespread, and destined for victory. But in fact it is a hate-fuelled fringe movement that only maintains even a hint of credibility due to media misrepresentation. That's something I'm trying to correct."

Just how successful the Zombie has been in spreading the message is not clear. The site technorati.com — which measures the connections and mentions that build credibility in the web — show it as a low-wattage player.

Yesterday it had 955 blog posts, while Melbourne conservative Andrew Bolt had 4260, and the influential US Drudge Report more than 41,000.

Zombie must have really hit a nerve with this ambulance debunking. They'll be destroying his anonymity and sliming his family and personal life next.

I wonder how long it will take them to find his gallery of ancient, ISLAMIC Mohammed pictures....

I don't get your point. This person is a conservative who unmasks the left via stealth photography.

I have him linked on my site. He's invaluable in capturing just how far left the left coast is.

Too bad the old media ignores so many of the displays put on by the degenerates.

One of his best was his showing how the MSM (which zeroed in on a protestor's face) intentionally cropped out the uniformed communists that were directing the protest.

You know this reporter's off and running in the wrong direction as soon as Zombie was referred to as a "he."

He/she might be referring to the people he takes pictures of? I don't know.
