A staffer at a Web firm aiding Barack Obama admitted creating the ad parody ripping Hillary Clinton.
An Internet whiz with deep ties to Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has been unmasked as the creator of the powerful "1984" video that skewers Hillary Rodham Clinton.......The high-tech operative, Philip de Vellis - who went by the secret nom de 'Net "Parkridge 47" - worked for the respected Democratic Internet-strategy firm Blue State Digital before getting sacked yesterday. The firm has contracts to run the Obama campaign's Web site.....such contracts typically are for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Blue State Digital said that de Vellis did no work on the Obama campaign account. "Pursuant to company policy regarding outside political work or commentary on behalf of our clients or otherwise, Mr. de Vellis has been terminated from Blue State Digital effectively immediately," the statement said.
But de Vellis - who admitted to creating the video in an article on Huffingtonpost.com after being outed by liberal blogger Arianna Huffington - was unapologetic..... He said he made the ad in his apartment on a Sunday afternoon using a Macintosh computer and software, then posted it on YouTube. It has since been viewed a stunning 1.5M times.

Its going to be some race between Obama and Hillary - a total catfight! MEOW!!
He is a liberal.
Obama should check the propellers of the various planes he takes from now to 2008. See if they're bolted tightly... And whatever happened to that last Kennedy, anyway? And so soon after declaring to run for something, too.
Uh oh. This guy will suffer the wrath of the Clintonistas; just you wait and see.
He'd better change his identity and move to one of the 7,000 islands in the Philippines.
I would bet that despite his firing from Blue State, nothing would prevent the company from contracting the services of an outside expert with special skills, someone like Mr. de Vellis.
Don't think he has to worry about finding another job, do you?
Mac user.
Figures.
Good point.
YIKES! That's scary!
Considering the long list of questionable deceased associates of Bubba and Queen Hillary, accidents can happen in any shape or form. One never knows or suspects where trouble may come from or in what form.
GREAT ad!!!

If he's that smart, he'll get a new ID off the net, and disappear to places unknown to humankind.
"He said he made the ad in his apartment on a Sunday afternoon using a Macintosh..."
Mac user.
Figures.

LOL. Another my PC can beat up your MAC comment. Too funny.
And the hammer goes spinning towards the screen....
Still, the captive audience is not free. They are only lost and confused in the aftermath.
Some people NEED Maximum Leaders.
He HAD to say it was on a MAC, eh?
Smartaleck.
But, didn't the drive-by media say that it was evil republicans that made this ad?
Still, the captive audience is not free. They are only lost and confused in the aftermath.
This video needed a new ending -
OBAMA: The young, fresh face of Statism.
If I recall correctly, while the drive-by media was claiming this was a highly professional looking video that indicated it was produced in a well-funded studio, several FReepers posted that this video could easily have been made by a couple of college kids using standard video editing software in a matter of hours. Sounds like once again the Pajama Media was able to assess the information much more accurately than the expert talking heads.
