BUSTED? Obama-Axelrod Astroturf Campaign Against Gov. Palin? Hope? Change?
Major story breaking! This is BIG! Something the “real” media should have been investigating.
Rusty Shackleford and Ace of Spades HQ have tied a major PR Firm a video released on youtube smearing Gov. Sarah Palin.
From the Jawa Report:
- Evidence suggests that a YouTube video with false claims about Palin was uploaded and promoted by members of a professional PR firm.
- The family that runs the PR firm has extensive ties to the Democratic Party, the netroots, and are staunch Obama supporters.
- Evidence suggests that the firm engaged in a concerted effort to distribute the video in such a way that it would appear to have gone viral on its own. Yet this effort took place on company time.
- Evidence suggests that these distribution efforts included actions by at least one employee of the firm who is unconnected with the family running the company.
- The voice-over artist used in this supposedly amateur video is a professional.
- This same voice-over artist has worked extensively with David Axelrod’s firm, which has a history of engaging in phony grassroots efforts, otherwise known as “astroturfing.”
- David Axelrod is Barack Obama’s chief media strategist.
- The same voice-over artist has worked directly for the Barack Obama campaign.

Note: Just one hour after Ace’s and Rusty’s posts went up all video and username evidence started to be erased from youtube. Guilty or Innocent mistake?
Story already up on Hot Air and Michelle’s site. I guess this story is going “viral” however not in the way the perpetrators wanted.
STAY TUNED! Ace has hinted about more to come.
