Martin Eisenstadt outs himself as Carl Cameron's source for some recent Palin-mockery and delivers yet more fodder (emphasis added):
As you know, I was one of the foreign policy advisers on the McCain campaign who worked with Randy Scheunemann to help prep Sarah on her debate with Joe Biden. Did we outright give her a geography quiz when we started the prep? No, of course not. But yes, in the context of the prep, it slowly became apparent that her grasp of basic geo-political knowledge had major gaps. Could she have passed a multiple choice test about South Africa or NAFTA. Probably. But it was clear that she simply didn’t have the ease of knowledge that we come to expect from a major party political candidate. Other slights came up, too: Not knowing the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas. Or the difference between the Shiites and Suni. Or when it came to international terrorist organizations, knowing that the IRA was in Northern Ireland, and ETA in Spain.

And what of Biden’s cluelesness on foreign affairs ... this is the very person who championed the idea of splitting Iraq into 3 autonomous regions ... that’s right, 3 borders, 3 ethnicities, each with its own army suspiciously eyeing the other, only 1 or 2 of which have oil, leaving the outcast with designs on the economically rich region, the increased likelihood of Iran being “invited” into the southern region, thereby leaving the other 2 regions landlocked, and on and on ... not to mention opposing the surge and opposing Reagan’s placement of missles in W. Europe in the 80’s ... in short what good is 35 years of experience when all you have to show for it is such colossally bad judgement??
TNR still doesn't seem to have a clue it's been punked. But then how long did it take for them to get hip to the Glass & Beauchamp scams?
Hoo boy. This is embarrassing.
Hey that’s pretty good. Guess that’s all that really matters huh!
This bozo, Doug4McCain, signed up here 10-27-08.
Now he calls McCain a “despicable man”, based on these Obama-fostered, ridiculous rumors
Anyone who ever believed these high school fabrications emanated from the McCain campaign should be embarrassed!!!
You were had!!!!!
Oh yeah...and I hope your day gets better.
we need to change FR or we are just becoming an operative for the Rats and their insane minions....
Martin Eisenstadt is a pseudonym.
This is from the Aug. 4th, 2008 on a blog called Shakesville:
http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2008/08/la-times-happy-to-use-hoax-martin.html
“One must hand it to Martin (aka Michael, M. Thomas) Eisenstadt. Despite the supreme handicap of not actually existing, the guy has managed to assemble a strong list of media types willing to link to him to further their points.
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.”
I’m not sure why, but I have never started a thread here that wasn’t pulled so I’ll leave it to others. I sure hope someone puts one up soon.
This is crap. I’m not too terribly stupid and I couldn’t give a dissertation on most of the listed items.
I can give Eisenstatic a diatribe on loyalty, commmon decency and how to behave as a gentleman!
It's embarrassing how many FReeprs fell for this jive.
Just guessing that there is a little HATRED for someone that’s CHRISTIAN.
First you have to find him. This name was associated with a previous hoax. First thing I want is a confirmation that this guy exists and worked for McCain. Then the person who hired him and this tool should be relegated to dog poop patrol.
As I have said before, it would be so typical if these anonymous sources turns out to be an adolescent kid who punk’d Carl Cameron posing as a campaign staffer.
No one hired him.
THIS IS A HOAX!!!!
Michael Crowley from the New Republic just admitted that he’d been punk’d. Go see the TNR article, before they take it down!!!
LMAOATWTA (laughing my a@@ off all the way to Alaska)
You’d think elitist smarms like him would know enough to check their sources, wouldn’t you? Pathetic weasel.
Previous posters have provided more than enough proof that this is probably a hoax. I guess TNR is another publication that I’ll need to find confirmation at a second site before I believe them. Sorry to everyone for the time waster.
Can you conceive of anyone on this earth easier to dupe than Carl Cameron?
IMHO that is your leaker.
