Six Degrees Of Separation

We always knew that Team Hussein was ultimately behind the gargantuan smear campaign against Alaska Governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Just as we always knew that they maintained a substantial multi-layer barrier of insulation between themselves and the dirty-tricksters that would be exceedingly difficult to penetrate. The only question would be if said penetration could be completed before or after the election.

Looks like Rusty Shackleford takes Barry's smearmongering cherry - or one of them, at least:

Evidence suggests that a YouTube video with false claims about Palin['s supposed one-time membership in an Alaskan separatist party] was uploaded and promoted by members of a professional PR firm.
The family that runs the PR firm has extensive ties to the Democratic Party, the netroots, and are staunch Obama supporters.
Evidence suggests that the firm engaged in a concerted effort to distribute the video in such a way that it would appear to have gone viral on its own. Yet this effort took place on company time.
Evidence suggests that these distribution efforts included actions by at least one employee of the firm who is unconnected with the family running the company.
The voice-over artist used in this supposedly amateur video is a professional.
This same voice-over artist has worked extensively with David Axelrod’s firm, which has a history of engaging in phony grassroots efforts, otherwise known as “astroturfing.”
David Axelrod is Barack Obama’s chief media strategist.
The same voice-over artist has worked directly for the Barack Obama campaign.

....two, three, four, five, yep, all six degrees of separation are present and accounted for. Or, at least, all six dots have been convincingly connected. Something that Ed Morrissey asserts would constitute "a massive set of FEC violations," although I doubt Barry and cohorts give a frog's fat leg about that, since if they lose, they wouldn't have worked, and if they win, it's not like a Hussein administration is going to investigate itself. And sure, it would run counter to the whole "hopeandchange/post-partisan unifier" gimmick, but really, hasn't that persona been hacked to pieces and the dismembered remains thrown down a deserted mine shaft somewhere months ago? Light-Bringer didn't even roll it out of mothballs for his O-cropolis convention speech. Do any but his zombies even remember it?

Nevertheless, somebody in Lucifer's shop appears concerned about RS's "penetration," as Ace (via J-Ger) gleefully observes:

"eswinner" is not sitting at the computer watching right-wing blogs post stories.

"eswinner" does not have a staff vigilantly monitoring the internet for damaging stories.

Neither, for that matter, does Winner & Associates.

But the Barack Obama campaign, headed up by David Astroturf, does.

Barack Obama and the DNC watch this blog. And I've put them on notice since this afternoon that a story about them was coming.

Within an hour of the story being posted, the videos began coming down. Within ninety minutes they were all down.

That's a pretty fast response time. I didn't mention Winner & Associates in my hints. So why would they be on notice?

I only mentioned Axelrod and Obama.
