Oh Big Brother!
'1984' YouTube ad creator unmasked

Video portraying Sen. Hillary Clinton as Big Brother figure made by employee of firm linked to Sen. Barack Obama campaign

[David Dunham]

1. So much for Obama's campaign's claims of innocence.

They are nabbed doing a dirty trick.

3. Given that the guy who did it is now out of work, I think you can credit an overzealous

supporter without tying it directly to Obama.

4. Wrong

but nice try anyway.

<"The Obama campaign and its employees had no knowledge and had nothing to do with the creation of the ad. We were notified this evening by a vendor of ours, Blue State Digital, that an employee of the company had been involved in the making of this ad. Blue State Digital has separated ties with this individual and we have been assured he did no work on our campaign's account.">

[H2O Man]

5. Nope.

Wrong.

10. You go ahead and side with FauxNews on this one, ok.

I'll trust the truth instead...

From the press release --

"Mr. de Vellis created this video on his own time. It was done without the knowledge of management, and was in no way tied to his work at the firm or our formal engagement with the Obama campaign.
