Charlie Crist Attacks Marco Rubio With a Fake (and poorly done) Website
Red State ^ | October 29, 2009 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 10/29/2009 7:32:48 PM PDT by La Lydia

Talk about desperation. Charlie Crist has set up a fake website to cover the “truth” about Marco Rubio.. Why do I call it a fake website?The website has blog posts time stamped all the way back to 2007 even thought it was only created yesterday. (http://truthaboutrubio.com/) It tries to tie Marco Rubio to a Hitler video parody of Charlie Crist — a video Rubio condemned upon finding out about it (he should have gone after it for a lack of comedic value other than the sun tan jab), but that this Charlie Crist backed site is fixated on.

Funny how the Crist Hitler video appeared on October 24th and the Anti-Rubio site came out three days later and just happens to have as its big story the Hitler video, complete with polling. Hmmmm . . . .

Is Crist so desperate that he puts out an exceedingly lame video and then tries to blame Rubio for it?

Why am I guessing this is Charlie Crist hit job? Well, first the Democrats have no need to attack Rubio now.

Secondly, the anti-Rubio website has a Twitter Account. And who was following the site until twenty minutes ago? Michelle Todd. Who is Michelle Todd? Special Assistant to Governor Charlie Crist. Likewise, the Senate GOP Conference is following and Mike Reed from the NRSC is following. [Note: Senate GOP says they follow everyone who follows them, which is normal, and the NRSC denies any involvement whatsoever, despite their endorsement and championing of Crist.]

I wonder what an Open Records Act request to the Governor’s Office for IP information related to the anti-Rubio site would turn up.

This just sickens me. Domain registry at link. Here's what Rubio says:

"Yesterday, we told you about a new wave of attacks that are being launched at Marco. Since then, it’s become clearer why these desperate attacks are taking place and who is responsible for them. Several news reports have indicated a close advisor to Charlie Crist is behind the effort to go after Marco. Even Crist himself has acknowledged being aware of the effort.

"Marco’s surge, combined with Governor Crist’s freefall, has the Crist campaign desperate. Their pitiful, error-filled, up again, down again, “anonymous” website is only the latest example. Is this the kind of campaign you want to see? Marco, for one, believes you deserve better. He entered this race looking forward to a serious, idea-driven campaign about the future of our country and which direction we should go. That’s what he has talked to you about for the past five months..."

Never trust a politician. Never, ever, ever, trust a politician that values a good suntan.

That's so gay. Should have known old Charlie would be behind it. (Yes I know. I used Charlie Crist and behind in the same sentence.)

I have to be sexist again. I have been for Rubio from the start. As soon as I heard Crist was slumming with Bambi I started sending him rude emails.
But I actually saw Rubio on Cavuto today and he SOUNDED GREAT and he is a LOOKER!
It’s gonna be like Bambi/McCain .... Crist/Rubio and the looker is gonna win. Who could vote for white hair and orange skin who is rank with liberal positions and political ambition popping out of his eyeballs, in it for only himself.
I really really like Rubio’s vision and he looks and sounds good too.

I heard a rumor in Texas that another Bush is going to run for Prez in 2012. Any whispers in FL about that?

Charlie Crist must be stopped. The last we need is for Juan McCain to have another ally in the Senate.

Donate to Rubio if you can afford it. He’s gaining ground and he can win.

Let’s defeat the RINO with the bad tan Charlie Crist.

He (Rubio) entered this race looking forward to a serious, idea-driven campaign about the future of our country and which direction we should go.

When you have no ideas that appeal to voters then you resort to destroying your opponent personally. It is a tried and true Leftist strategy going back to the use of fire.

Interesting that the RINO Crist has adopted the Leftist strategy against a fellow Republican. Bad on him.

Christ reminds me of Gray Davis. I guess it is the hair and perpetual tan. Each will say whatever it takes to get elected and then follow the money.
