Hope, Change, & Lies: Orchestrated "Grassroots" Smear Campaigns & the People that Run Them

Extensive research was conducted by the Jawa Report to determine the source of smears directed toward Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Those smears included false allegations that she belonged to a secessionist political party and that she has radical anti-American views.

Our research suggests that a subdivision of one of the largest public relations firms in the world most likely started and promulgated rumors about Sarah Palin that were known to be false. These rumors were spread in a surreptitious manner to avoid exposure.

Interesting in my opnion. Don't think it'll be picked up though.

Link(s) appear to be broken.

[Issaquahking]

Not only that, but the link, in PC lingo, has been “sanitzed” from the net. Clicked on both links, nothing there.

[Chaguito]

Link goes to page with trackback url and nothing more.

[Issaquahking]

Thank you!

[ozark hilljilly]

You’re welcome.
I think this is the longest article on Jawa in ages!
Good detective work, names named...but what will come of it?

The family that runs the PR firm has extensive ties to the Democratic Party, the netroots, and are staunch Obama supporters.

Gee....who woulda thunk?! ; )

The have some GREAT information on the person who got it all started!

YouTube user “cnwinner” (Charles N. Winner?) appears to be directly involved in a concerted effort to add legitimacy to the video’s lies about Palin.

And just what is winnr.com? An alternate dns designation for Winner & Associates. A firm that employs one Ethan S. Winner. (they also have a photo of him!)

Very interesting. Of course, the only way this can get any traction is if someone pursues the campaign finance angle.

Maybe the ‘Obama campaign manufacturing fake viral videos’ could as well. As in, Obama claimed to be a new kind of politician but he’s just a sleazebag. Or, better, IMO, that he’s unwilling to be honest and straightforward with the American people and instead prefers to manipulate them surreptitiously.

And lastly, props to stupid liberals who can’t figure out how to cover up their tracks on the internets.
