Republican Dirty Tricksters and the Internet

ABC News reports that Republican PR tricksters tried to pass themselves off as "just folks" with a video spoof of Al Gore posted on the popular video uploading site YouTube.com. The video, which has Al Gore boring a group of penguins to death with a speech about global warming, has a homemade, amateurish appearance. It was supposed to look that way. The Rovian-style tricksters wanted us to believe that it was created by a 29-year-old amateur filmmaker who was trying his hand at satire. Problem is that ABC News investigated the film's origin and discovered that said 29-year-old doesn't exist. Instead , it was created by a Republican PR firm whose clients include Exxon. Here's a link to the story. What's next? Are these people going to be deluging the comments sections of our progressive blogs with phony posts from "just folks" who are opposed to Al Gore?
