On to the propaganda piece statement:
Statement of Ethan Winner
The following is in response to questions I have received regarding the post on the Jawa Report website.
I produced and posted on the Internet the video entitled "Sarah Palin: A Heartbeat Away."
The idea for the video was mine. No one paid me to produce it. The only out-of-pocket cost will be the fee for the voice-over narrator, which I will pay personally when I receive an invoice. Contrary to the allegation in the Jawa Report, the voice-over artist has never done any work for the Obama campaign. I retained her through a talent agency based solely on the quality of her voice.
Neither the Obama campaign nor any independent political action committee has had a connection with the making and/or posting of this video. Just like the thousands of Americans who have posted videos on the Internet regarding the current Presidential campaign, I produced this video as an expression of my right to free speech, which is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
I believe the American people have a right and a need to know information about candidates for political office and their views. I made this video because I think it is important for the public to be aware of the association between Sarah and Todd Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party. The New York Times has reported that the Alaskan Independence Party website describes the party as seeking, in the words of the party, "a range of solutions to the conflicts between federal and local authority," including "advocacy for state's rights, through a return to territorial status, all the way to complete independence and nationhood status for Alaska."
While a number of media outlets have said that reports that Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party may have been erroneous, her attendance at the party's 1994 convention, her video speech to the 2008 convention and her husband's membership in the Alaskan Independence Party have not been called into question.
Some people have asked why I have pulled the video from the Internet. The reason is simple. Following the posting of personal information about me by the Jawa Report, my family began to receive threatening and abusive phone calls and emails.
Please, do not harass Ethan or his family. I purposefully did not link to pictures he posted of his familly for that very purpose.
The Freepers think the talent is Vicki Kaywood a Chicago area voice artist. I don't know if they're right --- in fact, I've had dozens of people send me emails with a link to the person they think is the voice talent --- but it might be. Seems like the closest voice so far at least.
Thanks to AllahP for the link.
See more at link.
I think it’s that other woman, the one that for some reason dislikes Sarah Palin.
The ‘personal information’ being the name of his company. What a f***ing liar. I hope Sarah Palin hauls him into court.
“I produced this video as an expression of my right to free speech, which is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.”
only for the libs, if you are conservative forget your freedom of speech
Yeah, right.
The reason is simple. Following the posting of personal information about me by the Jawa Report, my family began to receive threatening and abusive phone calls and emails.Hypocrite!Please, do not harass Ethan or his family.
I liked the video. With every picture of a formidable world leader of an evil regime that this guy put up on the screen at the end when he asked is she (Palin) ready to stand up to them etc. I found myself YELLING YES! YES! YES!
So...what’s the hype all about?! This guy doesn’t “get” Palin...I am glad that I damn well do!
Geez Louize - everybody wants to get into the act.
Threw himself under Obama’s bus...
“This is not the Ethan Winner I knew...”
He promises to pay the invoice for the professional voice when it comes in for his personal vid that he posted to youTube during company hours.
And, oh by the way, deleted all of his sock puppets when the connection to him was discovered.
He has confessed because he knows he was caught red handed and now must limit the damage, but nobody is buying it.
I think it is far more important for the public to be aware of the Democratic Presidential Candidate's close ties with avowed communists and criminals.
