Rand Paul Campaign: It Was a Secret Double Reverse Undercover Liberal
In tried and true Paul family fashion, the Rand Paul campaign responded to the revelation that one of their staffers had been trolling Daily Kos by claiming that it was a double reverse conspiracy.
Whenever Ron or Rand are caught doing something underhanded, this is how they respond.
I posted yesterday that DailyKos appeared to have caught a Rand Paul staffer pretending, in the comments, to be a progressive with doubts about Jack Conway. Paul aide Gary Howard, however, tells me — and has evidence to back it up — that this was an even more complicated online game, and that the culprit impersonated the Paul staffer to embarrass Paul’s campaign.
Wow, now that’s tricky. He pretended to be a Paulian, pretending to be a liberal, somehow knowing he would be caught, in order to embarrass Rand Paul.
Sure, that sounds plausible. Not.
“Our evidence is based on the signup email — which can’t be scammed. The owner of that email has to verify it by clicking on a link to post on Daily Kos,” Markos Moulitsas emails, providing a different, and apparently real, email address for Kubica.
I’ve asked Howard to take a look at that data as well.
Notice in the comments for Ben Smith’s article about online impersonation: a comment from someone impersonating me, and a comment pretending to be from another LGF lizard, using what they think is a real name out of sheer malice.
Does anyone ever moderate the comments at Politico? It’s become a real cesspool of trolls.
