…he’d hammer him on his poorly-hidden closet homosexuality rather than comparing him to Hitler.

FACT.

I took the opportunity to vote… and noticed that (at the time, before my computer contracted a virus through investigation of a Ms Lush, who wrote a post… which has also vanished from the site) the poll indicated 76% of those responding did not believe that Rubio was connected with the ad…. perhaps explaining why they removed it… as the site has clearly not yet had the intended effect.

If at first you don’t succeed… erase all evidence of your attempt to corrupt the field and try, try again.

PWNED !

I just watched the video in question. If Rich Heffley and the Crist campaign were to make a “Downfall” video in order to frame Marcro Rubio, this is the one they would make.

One thing I noticed, Rich Heffley is not named in the video. Heffley is a top Crist campaign advisor and a logical choice to be called out in the video.

Another thing, it is way over the top. I would have been more subtle in every way.

Three Reasons:

1. It doesn’t compare Crist to Hitler or anything like what is implied in the attack website. People familiar with this online fad know the comparison is the collapse of Crist’s campaign to the collapse of the 3rd Reich. This makes me think that some mindless “Adviser” found it one day and thought he could use it by pretending Rubio made it without even bothering to watch it all the way through. If he was trying to make a video to try to pin dirty tactics on Rubio, he could have made one WAY worse than this.

2. It speaks to too many truths about Crist–how he was supposed to have a walk in the part to this nomination, how his strategy of playing towards liberals blew up in his face, how he tried to push Rubio out of the race early, etc. and I don’t think these are things the Crist campaign believes or is wiling to admit they messed up.

3. It’s far too funny to have come from an establishment Republican campaign office.

“3. It’s far too funny to have come from an establishment Republican campaign office.”

Yup. I don’t think either campaign did it. It’s too funny. It’s a complete re-do of half a dozen similar sendups. (The first one I saw was a football related one..)

Closing quote:
“GREER, BRING IN MY SUN LAMP.”

If you want to see a sendup of Little Green Footballs and Charles Johnson’s blog-wars using the same theme … here it is:

Site’s back up. I’d offer to buy these clowns a clue, but watching them shoot themselves in the foot with one RPG after another is sufficiently amusing enough to prevent that….

1) 2010 is going to be a battle between Conservatives & Republicans and 2) Those associated with the NRSC and other “elites” in the party are IDIOTS when it comes to the internets..heh!

Red Handed.

A youtube user named “LifeAtTheHC” (claiming to be a student group) registered the day before the Crist-as-Hitler meme and is the only commenter there who seems to think the Rubio campaign is behind it:

“wow…way to start the mud throwing campaign. And Crist is NOT Hitler.

This crosses the line. And think if his supporters are willing to go this far, how far will Rubio go?”

HC refers to Harriet Wilkes college, where this guy (who seems to have some sort of anti-Rubio grudge) teaches:

I NEVER claimed to be a student group. I am an individual that has multiple gmail, and thus YouTube accounts, and accidentally must have been on the LifeAtTheHC account instead of my MostRedicThing account.

I also know of no anti-Rubio professor here at the HC. If you do please contact me, I’d like to get to know him.

The LifeAtTHeHC account was made for a friend that is going to South Korea to keep her updated on our lives here. It was meant for nothing else. To prove it check out:

I’m sorry that I accidentally made that account before that video was posted. I had no mean to do that, I was just trying to do something nice for a friend.

And to my friends, I apologize for not signing out, I simply need to check what account I am on when I make comments apparently…lol, since I know none of you will agree with my political opinions.

To Mr. Mschmitt (since you assumed that I was male, I get to return the favor, since I do happen to be female), why pick on a whole college because of one professor? If the people you are hating would do that would the Ivy leagues be Ivy any more?

We are taught to be respectful at the HC, and while this post is slightly not, I am trying to be as nice to a baseless personal attack as I can be. And we are taught to think for ourselves and be our own person. So please, think for yourself.
