They are as evil and hateful as their leader.

Rusty at TheJawaReport connects the dots between the Obama campaign, a major PR firm, and a variety of baseless anti-Palin smears being circulated by lefty bloggers. As he notes, "Within an hour of this post going up, YouTube videos implicating Ethan Winner were yanked, sockpuppet accounts deleted, and more importantly, the Wikipedia entry on David Axelrod began to edit out mentions of his well-known astroturfing campaigns."
If he were totally off base, would everything be coming down off the net?
Sure seems like somebody's got something to hide.
UPDATE: I like the way Ace puts it:
"eswinner" is not sitting at the computer watching right-wing blogs post stories.
"eswinner" does not have a staff vigilantly monitoring the internet for damaging stories.
Neither, for that matter, does Winner & Associates.
But the Barack Obama campaign, headed up by David Astroturf, does.
Barack Obama and the DNC watch this blog. And I've put them on notice since this afternoon that a story about them was coming.
Within an hour of the story being posted, the videos began coming down. Within 90 minutes they were all down.
That's a pretty fast response time. I didn't mention Winner & Associates in my hints. So why would they be on notice?
I only mentioned Axelrod and Obama.
No, I do not believe that a random Winner & Associates employee just happened to be reading the Ace of Spades website and suddenly came across a link to a story about them and then decided to wake the bosses over it.
I believe the Obama campaign and the DNC have been watching since this afternoon. And they put the call into "eswinner" to get those videos down and bury the evidence.
And now "eswinner" has decided to end his short career on YouTube, despite the fact that this was his Best. Day. Eveehhhhh.
If he was just some ordinary schnook who wanted people to check out his rad smear-videos about Sarah Palin, shouldn't he be happy he was getting so many hits all of a sudden? Isn't that the dream of every basement-dwelling wannabe Murrow of the Internet? Attention? Fame? Hits?
Why is he suddenly so shy to have his work seen? Why does he feel compelled now to delete his account entirely? To erase any and all evidence of his YouTube presence?
Why, just a week ago, he was so psyched that "FINALLY THE TRUTH COMES OUT!" Doesn't he want the truth to come out any longer?
If none of this is shadowy, as they will all claim tomorrow, why did they so quickly retreat from sunlight?
They don't even want you to see the video they were once so proud of anymore. What changed, exactly?
Questions, questions.
Why, you'd almost think that perhaps these videos were intended to fly completely under the radar or something. And that now that they're very much above the radar, they're embarrassing "eswinner." Or the client who has hired "eswinner" to peddle vicious smears under the radar so that the client himself could pretend he doesn't traffic in viciously dishonest advertisements.
hsa anyone used the wayback machine to check out record the changes in which this article cites.
Watching Fox news just now a obama spokesperson spewed the book banning nonsense and Shep Smith agreed and said it is fact and attacked the McCain spokesperson on it.
Seems these rumours have nine lives.
They are Brownshirts.
ping for later
The Democratic Party (including the MSM) ATTACK MACHINE is alive and well—and is now in high gear!
Looks like the entire Obama candidacy was an “astroturfing” operation. This explains the “grassroots” drying up and his having to tap heavy fund-raisers this late in the game.
No wonder the Clintons hate his guts.
I would like to point out that McCain called this within 24 hours of the smear campaign going in to high gear.
Now, let’s find that thread we started with the Columbus guy who said Trig was Bristol’s child.
They are as evil and hateful as their leader.
From the business end of a crack pipe.

Which is the point of the smear in the first place. The Democrats and leftists don’t care about the truth of the matter; they’re interested in creating an image of Palin which will ruin her reputation and ability to get things done. In fact, Alinsky and other leftists interested in “progressive” politics explicitly tell followers to throw out lie after lie in the expectation that some will stick and damage the person’s reputation and career.
Look at the lies thrown at Clarence Thomas. Or Robert Bork. Or Kenneth Starr. Or Dan Quayle. Or George W. Bush. And, as the Germans would say, “und so weiter.”

For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
I saw it too, grinding my teeth the whole time. It's one thing for these Obama talking-heads to spout this junk, but fer cryin' out loud, it's been debunked long ago, Smith ought to have had the facts when it was said, not ten minutes later, the jerk is gone. Thanks a lot, Shep. 
Shep is a newsreader. I highly doubt he has any interest in news or politics once he leaves the Fox Studios.
He’s never struck me as the intellectual and informed type.
Before history and Wikipedia forget it, David Axelrod’s mother was a big time Commie whore of the Stalinist variety. He’s following in her slime trail.
Check out the substantial documentation on The Jawa Report (linked in the article).
Perfect.
SHEP SMITH is UNWATCHABLE!!!
“Shep is a newsreader. I highly doubt he has any interest in news or politics once he leaves the Fox Studios. He’s never struck me as the intellectual and informed type.”
Yeah, and he’s um how shall we say it...a bit flamboyant.
Friends, compatriots, fellow-lamenters,
We are writing to you because of the fury and dread we have felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. We believe that this terrible decision has surpassed mere partisanship, and that it is a dangerous farce on the part of a pandering and rudderless Presidential candidate that has a real possibility of becoming fact.
Perhaps like us, as American women, you share the fear of what Ms. Palin and her professed beliefs and proven record could lead to for ourselves and for our present or future daughters. To date, she is against sex education, birth control, the pro-choice platform, environmental protection, alternative energy development, freedom of speech (as mayor she attempted to ban books and fired the librarian who refused), gun control, the separation of church and state, and polar bears.To say nothing of her complete lack of experience.
We want to clarify that we are not against Sarah Palin as a woman, a mother, or, for that matter, a parent of a pregnant teenager, but solely as a rash, incompetent, and all together devastating choice for Vice President. Ms.Palin's political views are in every way a slap in the face to the accomplishments that our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers so fiercely fought for, and that we've so demonstrably benefited from.
First and foremost, Ms. Palin does not represent us. She does not demonstrate or uphold our interests as American women. It is presumed that the inclusion of a woman on the Republican ticket could win over women voters. We want to disagree, publicly.
Therefore, we invite you to reply here mailto:womensaynopalin@gmail.com with a short, succinct message about why you, as a woman living in this country, do not support this candidate as second-in-command for our nation.
Please include your name (last initial is fine), age, and place of residence.
We will post your responses on a blog called 'Women Against Sarah Palin,' which we intend to publicize as widely as possible. Please send us your reply at your earliest convenience the greater the volume of responses we receive, the stronger our message will be.
Thank you for your time and action.
VIVA!
Sincerely,
Quinn Latimer and Lyra Kilston
New York, NY
