I posted yesterday that DailyKos appeared to have caught a Rand Paul staffer pretending, in the comments, to be a progressive with doubts about Jack Conway. Paul aide Gary Howard, however, tells me -- and has evidence to back it up -- that this was an even more complicated online game, and that the culprit impersonated the Paul staffer to embarrass Paul's campaign.
The Paul campaign discovered this when the same person appears to have submitted this ludicrous comment through their website's online form:
Your Name Tom Kubica
Email Tom@randpaul2010.com
Subject Replacement
Category Social Networking
Message I was discovered and banned at DailyKos. I suggest we immediately pull in all of our covert operatives. I'll need someone to replace me at Daily Kos as well.
The IP address associated with the comment, 38.97.124.170, locates the poster in Framingham, Mass. The real Kubica -- who goes, Howard said, by Thomas, not Tom -- is based in Bowling Green.
"This kid has never been on DailyKos and doesn't know what's going on. He was scared out of his mind that he'd be fired," Howard said.
Is this the same guy Newsbusters had Youtube video on?
Joe Arnold Exposes The Racist Jack Conway Supporter Pretending To Be A Rand Paul Supporter
Not the same guy. That guy is an open Conway supporter who works with some county-level democratic party....but he actually lives in Kentucky.
This guy apparently lives in Massachusetts.
I hope our infiltrators are bright enough not to get caught.
Sounds like another DailyKos setup scam to me. The netroots are notorious for such things. They are very technically competent, but totally unprincipled.
Nothing new from the Left.
