I find it interesting that the video had “some” exposure before the campaign worker was fired, but since the firing, it (the video) has been on Breitbart news and many other news outlets. It’s almost like a brer rabbit move....”that’s a bad video, don’t look at video, I’m serious, I don’t endorse that video and to prove it I’ll fire the kid who made it.” And so a video that may have been seen by a “few” has now been seen by “many.”
That’s what I was thinking.
Remember that the swiftboat ad in 2004 was replayed hundreds of times more by the media than the group actually bought in ad time.
“And so a video that may have been seen by a “few” has now been seen by “many.”
Unable to view video.
However to your point about suspending author.
I have noticed that seems to be way this campaign is going.
Obama staffer calls Hildebeast a monster, she is fired. True or not it gets max play in media.
Hildabeast has Ferraro call Obama a wannabe, who would not be in race, except for the fact he is halfrican, she gets the boot. Lot of airtime.
This dude gets suspended and more airtime for his video.
I would love to see pol in this race tell their opponents to disprove accusation, except that there is no story in that strategy.
