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.

CAUGHT! OBAMA’S ALEXROD HIRED PR FIRM TO SLIME PALIN

Just when you think the Obama campaign can’t get any dirtier, it does.

This is breaking this morning. David Axelrod, Obama’s Rove hired a PR company to produce videos for YOUTUBE from so called “grassroots” groups. Everything about the so called grassroots campaign was phony including the comments. The video went up and was rapidly taken down when it was discovered by savvy white knights (my words) tracking the Obama campaign’s every move.

Obama Connected PR Firm Uploads, Publicizes Lying Anti-Palin Ad on YouTube, Then Pushes it Virally as “Grassroots” Effort; PR Exec Sockpuppets Praise Video for “Getting the Truth Out;” Company Employee Uploads it to Obama Smear Clearinghouse Daily Kos and Urges Readers to Send it Out to Ten People Each.

As reported, "Uploads it to Obama Smear Clearinghouse Daily Kos and Urges Readers to Send it Out to Ten People Each.". Allows Obammy to say he had nothing to do with it since he has no say how Malitous Markos runs his sewer.
