Fake "amateur video" against Gore traced to Republicans

[techweenie]

Seems the Republican PR firm (also working for Exxon) wanted to mock Al Gore. So they created a fake "amateur" video and put it up on You Tube using a 29 year old guy as a "front."

Lame.

Great political satire. Did you also watch the Ann Colter says Clinton is gay video? That is funny!

From further down in tech's article:

"Of course, Mr. Gore and his allies have also used the Internet to great advantage. To stoke interest in his film, the distributor of "An Inconvenient Truth," Paramount Classics, created its own YouTube video by cartoonist Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons." Called "Al Gore's Terrifying Message," the video, which features a cartoon version of Mr. Gore arguing with a robot, has had more than a million views. Paramount is identified as the source next to the video."

Once again, techie does not read the whole thing. Either that or it is o.k. for the Democrats, and their partners in crime (the entertainment industry) to utilize youtube in this manner. You may also notice that the artical does not use the word "Republican" anywhere. Oh well, I guess if your view of the world is simplistic enough, big oil = Republican. Same thing, right?
