Did so, identifying myself as a marketing director for my corporation and requested info relevant to a guest speaker from his organization for our upcoming seminar in May..............LOL! We'll see what happens with that.
Martin (aka Michael, M. Thomas) Eisenstadt.
The man behind the fictional character of “Martin Eisenstadt” rose to fame under the name “Abrad2345.” “Eisenstadt” released several YouTube videos a year ago that received Internet-wide praise for being sexist, racist tributes to narcissism. “Eisenstadt” also got some, like Juan Cole and Air America, to bite at the video he created which made it appear he was telecast on a Iraqi TV program, where he spoke about how great things will be when casinos dominate Baghdad’s Green Zone.
The latest example of someone latching onto a post from “Eisenstadt” is from Andrew Malcolm at the L.A. Times
I think the gist is, there’s some doofus out there who fancies himself a political Borat. If it’s deeper than that, he’s also succeeded in punking the mainstream media outlets, who are the ones that outed the guy as just a prankster.
Welcome to Free Republic. You have to follow the threads and sort out what is going on by following links provided and possibly doing some of your own research. Things here happen in real time quite often, which can be confusing but also is why often FR is ahead of many stories. As to a summary- What? This is not a class and there are no cliff notes for FR.
I watched Cameron's disgusting performance...I swear he was salivating so much I expected him to have to stop and wipe the drool off his chin.

I always knew from the outset that these rumors were from Hillary’s office or Barack’s tribe for the purpose of damaging Palin’s name to eliminate her as a viable candidate four years from now.
Thank you, I think.
I have read the whole thread and have the basic jist, but if the rules are no summaries allowed, then so be it. Some of us at work don’t always have hours to sift through all the info.
Thanks anyway for the tip....
We should take Sarah Palin’s lead and ignore this story unless and until some being in the physical realm steps forward as the source.
None of which are on her agenda as a state governor.
Well said!
The info I got came from his own website bio. If he's a liar, then he'll be outed soon enough. Thus far, I think the case is not yet closed.
Guy claiming to be source of Palin smear is exposed as professional hoaxer...
question remains, was he the source for Fox’s report of Palin smear?
The second answer is quit underestimating the enemy. The Obama people knew we were down after the loss Tuesday night: Wednesday they launched the attack.
They're ingenious, ruthless and currently way ahead of us, in terms of modern political warfare.
It’s not that there are no summaries allowed- threads/stories are allowed to take their own course. This is developing. If and when it is determined what actually happened there will be threads that tell what was found. If you don’t have time to keep up, then just keep following the story as best you can- it will at some point likely be sorted out.
A summary at this point wouldn’t do alot of good- there are still many clues and angles to follow- some will be red herrings but some will pay off. A new thread would get as confusing as this one while this is still in progress.
There are some fine detectives on this site and it is amazing to see these stories get sorted out, and they usually do.
I agree... thanks for the info.
I didn’t believe the stories about Palin to begin with- it sounded like spiteful gossip to me or someone wanting her to take a fall for the loss. It is a good possibility it was someone that wanted to remove her from the playing field.
It it was a hoax from the start it still may go back to one of the above reasons. We’ll see.
Yes, Obama's people. They fear her most.
This “search is your friend” carp is worse than vanities about what someone’s cat barfed up this morning. “hey honey, I nuked someone on FR today, cool eh?”
Mark Levin exposing this hoax now live on his show!!
(doesn’t say anything about Cameron and Fox, though)
