who writes the political spam?

[jdj]

I've gotten it all, from smear boat vets to theresa heinz kerry, but who writes it?

It is never sourced, other than maybe dates of the quotations, but where does this stuff come from? Straight from the RNC, or from think-tanks or is it private individuals?? Just curious if anyone really knows, and do Dems have their own spam producers?

1. Lots of times from "News Services"

So they needn't put a name to it.

2. I keep waiting for some

so I can debunk and send on, or back as the case may be.

I keep adding to the email address list I keep. But I could use many more.

3. snopes ususally has the latest

it's cool that you debunk it yourself, I've only done that once..

4. I use snopes and DU. Not really myself

5. I heard that a S.C. Bob Jones Univ RWinger originated McCain smears

A poster here on DU mentioned that email smears against McCain (including the illegitimate baby smear) during the S.C. Bush/McCain primary originated from emails sent out by a BJU RWinger. I haven't heard anything though about where all of the emails with false antiDem charges are originating from this year.
