BUSTED! Video Documents Role of Dem. Consultant Neal Rauhauser in Smear Campaign Against Tea Party

The Other McCain ^ | 10/7/2010 | Robert Stacy McCain

[Qbert]

WARNING: This video is filled with profanity. What it documents — including pedophilia-themed Twitter attacks against children of a Tea Party supporter — involves a network of “progressive” activists apparently organized by Neal Rauhauser, whose firm, Progressive PST, has been hired by many Democratic candidates.

UPDATE: Wow, Greg W. Howard posted this video on his blog two weeks ago, and I didn’t see it until today? Man, I’ve got to start paying closer attention . . .

UPDATE II: Much of the information in the video was collected at the “Swift Read” site of conservative Catholic blogger Patrick Read, who says that he and others have stored page caches of the material. The video says the purpose is to “illustrate that Neal Rauhauser was soliciting some of the worst provocateurs he could find in an effort to deliberately elicit angered responses from the Tea Party.” It  features screen captures of Tweets by several activists alleged to have been part of Rauhauser’s network. Conservative blogger Greg W. Howard was especially targeted for Twitter harassment. (Warning: Extremely graphic language.)

This is some extremely disturbing NSFW stuff (including pedophile-oriented tweets from this progressive group). Neal Rauhauser and his group PST have done work for Arizona Democrat Rep. Raul Grijalva, and Alaska Senate candidate Scott McAdams, among others (list of candidates at 11:00 of video). The Huffington Post, among others, has mentioned Rauhauser as somebody available for hire.

Note: I couldn't extract this video, and couldn't find it at YouTube, so if someone can post it, please do. Also there are some screenshots of the twisted tweets at the link. (Not pimpin' the blog- just very, very NSFW...)

Please provide a transcript if you find one—a lot of us cannot access much video. Also forward to newsbusters and Breit.

“Please provide a transcript if you find one—a lot of us cannot access much video. Also forward to newsbusters and Breit.”

There’s no spoken audio on the video, unfortunately- just background music. I’ll try see what else I can find in writing though, and put it in the comments (and forward it, as well).

Someone please ping Drudge? (Hard from my smartphone.)

Thanks for helping, RushIsMyTeddyBear.

This pervert Rauhauser needs to be locked up.

Thanks again. (I have to step out for a few hours, but will be back later...)

Breitbart caught ‘em, too (update correction to my original post- this was the Huffington Post posting I was referring to). They show Breitbart’s tweet (comments are closed):

PING!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

They really are. Utterly evil.

[Gargantua]

One would think that the Law would provide a remedy for this pattern of deliberate harrassment, and an appropriate punishment for the perpetrators. Free speech doesn't cover assault, and that's precisely what this is.

[nutmeg]

Happy to help, kristinn!

I'm almost sorry to have pinged you to this... some awful VILE stuff at the link... :-(

[Gargantua]

Then you've got intentional use of interstate media for the perpetrating of a deliberate fraud for personal financial and political gain. Has to be illegal, and if it isn't, we need to see that fixed.

Should be a Class 1 Federal Felony.
