“What the hell is a political PR agency doing on a conference call for artists in the first place?
“Are we talking art, or are we talking professional political campaign ads?”
A bit of backstory.
Before the election, My Pet Jawa found that very-professional style supposedly “grassroots” nasty hit job videos on Sarah Palin were being posted on YouTube.
He discovered that these were created by a Democrat-connected California PR agency named Winner & Associates.
The suspicion was that the ads had been created, covertly, with Axelrod’s connivance, to create a fake “grassroots viral video” that couldn’t be traced to Obama.
But it couldn’t be proven. In the end it was smoke but no fire. A lot of smoke, and yet no smoking gun.
Ethan Winner confessed to making the video, but claimed he hadn’t had contact with David Axelrod for ten years, it was all just something he felt like spending thousands of dollars on himself. As a goof. …
What was a rep for Winner & Associates doing on that conference call?
You know, the one where White House official Buffy Wicks thanked everyone for helping them win the campaign?
I don’t know about this yet — I really do not know if I can say this significantly advances the case. Need to mull it.
But it sure seems… coincidental. …
Actually… What the hell is a political PR agency doing on a conference call for artists in the first place?
Are we talking art, or are we talking professional political campaign ads?
