(62,325 posts)on Liberal Organizations for smear Campaigns, couldn't find a thing. HB Gary was bidding on that contract when Anonymous leaked their emails. And we got a real look into how these smear campaigns are done.
For Greenwald, eg, they 'suggested' that 'we find out where his children go to school' and 'what Church he attends' also 'who his wife is' etc etc
For this kind of grade school level 'work', apparently they get paid MILLIONS.
HB Gary probably lost the contract after the embarrassing exposure, but SOMEONE got it.
How do I know? Because the level of the 'work' is about as low as HB Gary's.
And if they paid millions for this, they were robbed.
Apparently no one who dares to speak their minds on politics, as they have a right to do still in this country, including us DUers is too insignificant for them not to smear.
They go around searching for your comments, then in that 'third party' tactic they use, they post links to years old comments, implying there is something nefarious in them. Hoping people won't click the links, because of course, there never is.
But it gives you an idea of how hard people work to try to smear innocent people who are doing NOTHING other than not agreeing with them.
Another tactic is to post made up stuff, 'What do you have to say aboutGreenwald supporting bigot' eg, in the Title Box. The hope is that people won't read beyond that.
Why are they so desperate, is what I want to know. If their candidates are so great, then they should have nothing to worry about.
BOA definitely has stuff to hide which is why, in their desperation they hired a 'security contractor' to try to smear jounalists and even bloggers.
