For the past week, we’ve been thrust into the sort of maelstrom John Grisham conjures for his characters: for whatever reason, out of the blue, one day ordinary people find themselves up against a ruthless conspiracy bent on their destruction.

We’d never heard the term “Puma Hunter” until this week, though we were aware of sporadic attacks on people like Darragh Murphy at PUMApac.org or Will Bowers, two of the most prominent and outspoken Democrats who witnessed the brutal attacks of the Left upon Hillary Clinton supporters during the primaries, and, like us, decided they could not “shut up and sit down” once the Left’s “Lightbringer” was awarded the nomination and began his general election campaign.  PUMA stands for “People United Means Action”, which sums up the grassroots movement that emerged after the DNC’s Rules & Bylaws Committee met on May 31st, 2008 and essentially awarded the nomination to Obama, despite the clear will of the voters. On that day, many of us saw the fix was in, and we became determined to make sure the American people would ultimately realize a coup within the DNC itself had installed George Soros-funded socialists in place to seize and forever alter the former Democrat Party.

Writers for PUMA sites were viciously attacked by the Hope and Change Gang from the very beginning, because we, to this day, refuse to be silenced about the thuggery, voter fraud, intimidation, harassment, and extortion the Obama campaign used to win the nomination and general election. The news media has completely ignored all of this, but those of us who campaigned on the ground for Hillary Clinton across the country saw, firsthand, the Alinsky Methods playbook used page by page against anyone and everything that stood in Obama’s way.

“Puma Hunters” appear to be a page from the same book that spawned armies of cyber trolls to serve Obama. Unlike trolls used generally speaking, working off new talking points each day to attack Obama’s opponents on policy points, “Puma Hunters” are operatives that focus specifically on destroying the lives of PUMAs:  they libel and defame us, they make us unemployable by filling internet searches with false accusations of racism, they harass us at work to the point where companies cut our contracts for fear of losing business, etc.  From what you’ve all, collectively, helped us gather in terms of clues this week, we believe these “Puma Hunters” are being directed by the DNC and Organizing for America, on some level, to berate, harass, and personally destroy moderate Democrats, Independents, and the newly minted former-Democrats who remain committed to exposing Obama for who he really is, and who his followers and goons really are.

What follows is our understanding of “Puma Hunters”, a recap of what’s happened to us this week, and all the information we have, so far, illustrating the coordination of multiple Leftist sites like The Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground on “Puma Hunting” expeditions, with very likely direction from the DNC and other Obama-controlled organizations themselves.  With your help, we believe we’ll ultimately be able to directly prove the Puma Hunters, as well as the trolls and Internet fabrications like “Ellie Light”, are getting their marching orders from some entity like David Axelrod’s consulting firm, which specialized in astroturfing and Internet campaigns.

Like a John Grisham novel, there are many twists and turns in all of this.  Little, average people are up against giant, powerful, ruthless machines.  It’s chilling to believe donors to the DNC are actually funding, in some way, attacks on Democrats themselves, just because those Democrats don’t fall lock-step into the new Liberal-Socialist Democrat party.  We believe there’s a real story behind this “PUMA hunting” that, if properly investigated, could bring down a large part of the Alinsky machine.  If everyone who is being attacked devoted time and energy into identifying the attackers, and it emerges these attackers are all linked, it won’t take much investigative work to determine who’s ultimately coordinating all of this harassment, who is paying these attackers to destroy the lives of private citizens, and who in the White House knows and approves of what’s going on.

This is, clearly, much bigger than the personal attacks on us here in Chicago.

This is the way business is done in Obama’s “Golden Age of Hope and Change”.

Backstory:

Until the week before Christmas, we did not involve ourselves in the Massachusetts Senate race because Martha Coakley stood by Hillary Clinton in the primaries, despite immense pressure from the Kennedy Family, John Kerry, and Deval Patrick to back Obama instead.  We have no idea how much harassment Coakley received for her decision, but we imagine it had to be considerable.  We know what Obama’s goons do to regular people, so we shudder to think what they’d to do someone as high-profile as Coakley.  Though we didn’t want the current Liberal-Socialist Democrat party to maintain its super-majority in the Senate, we stayed out of the Massachusetts race in deference to Coakley’s Team Hillary resolve.

Things changed for us when news of Blanche Lincoln’s Louisiana Purchase and Ben Nelson’s shameless Cornhusker Kickback exposed the level of graft, corruption, secrecy, closed-door-deals, and undemocratic activity Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Obama were engaged in to ram the Healthcare Rationing Bill through the Senate, in the dead of night, on Christmas Eve.  This behavior horrified us.  The Democrats in power heard clearly from voters across the country that they did not want the Senate to rush through any bill with the economy-altering power of this Rationing measure, and yet, Democrats deliberately chose to vote on legislation most of them hadn’t even read, in the cover of darkness, in the middle of the night, while most Americans were distracted with holiday preparation.  They thought people wouldn’t notice what they were up to, but they were wrong.  We noticed, and we decided to do the only thing we could do at that moment in time:  back Scott Brown for the Senate in Massachusetts to send Democrats a message.  If they could lose “The Kennedy Seat” over their reckless and dangerous handling of healthcare reform, then not a single Democrat in office would be safe in 2010.

Looking at Scott Brown for the first time, we instantly liked what we saw — and we’re not just talking about his layout for Cosmo.  We believed Brown would actually read legislation before voting on it.  Even more refreshing than that, we knew Brown would think for himself and would not just do what Harry Reid told him to do — especially not with something that will raise taxes, decrease access to medical care, bankrupt many doctors and hospitals, and cut Medicare benefits to millions.  Coakley lost our support when she went back on her campaign promise to vote against the Rationing bill; once she won the primary, she decided she already won “The Kennedy Seat”, and her arrogance in treating voters like peasants (culminating in her aide, Michael Meaghan, actually pushing a reporter to the ground when he dared to ask her a question about her sudden willingness to do whatever Reid told her to do in the Senate) offended us.

To help Scott Brown, we thought of two things to benefit his campaign:

(1) Stir up our readers to volunteer for him

(2) Mitigate any attacks the Left would use against him based on his Cosmo photo spread

Since we’ve been attacked for two years now by the Left, and have watched other PUMAs attacked as well, we can fairly accurately anticipate a large portion of what these people will do to someone.  We knew they’d try to turn Brown’s decades-old photoshoot against him, so we decided to get in front of it by calling Brown “Hottie McAwesome”, and making his Cosmo spread a net-positive for our readers, and all who’d use search engines to find those photos once Democrats got around to attempting to use them against him.  Well, idiots, those photos are great.  In fact, they’re awesome.  Scott Brown is awesome.  He’s also, still, at his age, hot.  So, “Hottie McAwesome” caught on as a Brown nickname, and started appearing on signs in photos all around Massachusetts.

In the last days of the campaign, when Coakley tried to ridicule Brown for those Cosmo shots, it was Coakley who looked stupid, not Brown, because people had already seen Hottie McAwesome in all his glory…and they liked what they saw.

Almost immediately after beginning the “Hottie McAwesome” campaign here on HillBuzz, we received warning from Democrats here in Chicago that we “needed to stay out of the Massachusetts race”.  So much was riding on that special election, in terms of the Healthcare Rationing bill, that “too many people are watching this and they are going to come after you for helping Brown”.  The people warning us were good Democrats, big in the fundraising community, whom we know from Hillary Clinton’s primary campaign.  It’s very rare for them to ever chime in with anything to us, but whenever they think we’re on to some story the DNC does not want us talking about, they’ll caution us that “talking about this will cost you work, and draw more attention to you than you want”, and advise us to drop the topic.  Since all of us work as freelancers, in the private events, grant writing, and nonprofit world, in a city controlled by Liberals, trust us when we say we do not take warnings like this lightly.  We’ve struggled for two years now since Obama supporters started blackballing us around Chicago for not backing “The One”.  We’ve lost work whenever Obama’s goons harassed our employers for having us on the payroll, and we found ourselves axed because of that.  ”I just can’t be associated with you, because you’re on a Banned list, and I don’t want them coming after me, too”, is something we’ve heard a lot of since the day we launched this site in February 2008 to combat everything immoral and undemocratic the Obama campaign was doing to both Hillary Clinton and her supporters.

On January 9th, we ran a “Who’s Mad At Us Today Report”, addressing these warnings, and noting that, after serious consideration on our part, we were going to continue to support Scott Brown because we felt (and still feel, clearly) Democrats had abused their super-majority in the Senate and that the people of Massachusetts needed to take back “The Kennedy Seat” from the DNC to “teach Democrats a lesson” (borrowing a favorite meme of conservatives we hear time and again towards the GOP).  Naively, we thought there wasn’t much less the Left could do to us, really.  Our freelancing careers are pretty much over in Chicago, save for gigs we still get from fellow PUMAs who won’t abandon us. We have no delusions of ever again being able to land contract jobs working for the City of Chicago, especially not after we opposed the Olympics scheme and helped rally people for Rio.  We’re aware that in a Liberal-controlled city there are severe financial and professional consequences for exercising free speech and dipping our toes in political activism.

But, the fate of the country meant more to us than anything the Left would throw at us in punishment.  We decided to continue supporting Brown, despite multiple warnings that a maelstrom was being prepped for us at the DNC, because we felt this race was too important to allow the Massachusetts machine to win.

Scott Brown was elected to the United States Senate on January 19th, 2010 — to rapturous cheers here at Buzzquarters in Chicago, and around the country.

On January 20th, the Left decided to escalate their usual attacks on us, this time personally outing one of us, calling him a racist, and advocating for the destruction of his personal and professional life.

It seems they were so upset Brown won “The Kennedy Seat” that they moved quickly to punish anyone they felt had in any way contributed to that stunning win:  and we became a target.

Since beginning this site two years ago, we’ve maintained it anonymously as “The HillBuzz Boys” here in Boystown for several reasons that should be obvious to you:

(1) We like having jobs and want to be able to eat dinner once in a while.

(2) Politics is our hobby, not our profession.  In Chicago, particularly, a hobby like this will cost you employment, guaranteed, so why do that to ourselves?

(3) We enjoy having personal lives.  Being gay, but refusing to toe the line, in a Liberal-controlled city means immediate pariah status for any of us who dare to publicly call the Left out on anything.

(4) We never intended to make politics our lives.  HillBuzz itself exists by pure accident.  It was started as a little blog to give Hillary supporters in Chicago a place to post articles and plot strategy during the worst days of the 2008 primary, when Obama was winning a string of February caucuses and Tim Russert, Keith Olbermann, Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews, and the rest of Obama’s media cheering brigade kept berating Hillary Clinton to “just quit already” and her supporters to “shut up and fall in line”.  Once Clinton suspended her campaign, we kept this site running to fight the PUMA fight…and to work with Republicans for the first time in our lives to defeat Obama, since we knew what he would do as president.  Hint: it’s exactly what he’s done this past year.  We pegged Sarah Palin early on as McCain’s VP pick, and have liked her for years, ever since we heard about her battle with the corrupt idiots in Alaska like Ted Stevens. So, of course, it was natural for us to back Palin whole-heartedly in everything she did, and continues to do, to this day.

We’re surprised as anyone at the evolution we’ve made, starting out on this site as lifelong partisan Democrats, finding ourselves relentlessly attacked by our own party, losing our livelihoods because of an election decided years ago at this point, and being villainized at every turn by a well-organized Leftist machine that’s aimed at anyone who opposes the socialist takeover of this country.

Sometimes, it feels less like something John Grisham would have written and more like a Stephen King paperback.

Specifics of the January 20th “Racist” Attack:

As noted in the Backstory above, the recent volley of attacks on us started on January 20th, 2010 at a site called “TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com”.  This site appears to be run by someone named Sean S. living in Birmingham, England, who is listed in various records as a “consultant” of some stripe.  BigotBasher made an entry on January 20th entitled: “Scott Brown and a hate site — The making of a Republican Campaign”.  In that post, BigotBasher uses one of our real names, randomly runs a photo of one of us with Michael Steele from an event here in Chicago (when he could have just as easily used a photo with one of us and Whitney Houston or Lady Gaga, as we’ve met them as many times as Michael Steele), and flat-out calls not only this site, HillBuzz, “a hate site”, but calls one of us, personally, a racist.  That is the very definition of libel.

Despite numerous notices for TheBigotBasher to remove the libelous racist accusation, Sean S. has refused to comply, in clear violation of WordPress terms of service (TOS).  To date, for whatever reason, WordPress has refused to take action against Sean S. and remove all posts using our names, likeness, and the defamatory racist slurs.  If you know a way to contact WordPress directly, we’d appreciate your help in getting TheBigotBasher scrubbed, since this is the originator of all attacks against us this week.

What follows is where things get really interesting, in the Grisham sense, because it’s clear to us the Left coordinated this attack upon on.  ”TheBigotBasher” is an obscure blog that gets almost no traffic.  According to Alexa.com, it’s ranked 9,459,458 in the US and is so little-read that it doesn’t even turn up in the global Internet rankings.  By contrast, our site, HillBuzz, is currently ranked 14,852 in the US and 95,972 in global rankings.

On any random day, something we write has a fair to good chance of being picked up in the mainstream, because we have a lot more eyes focused on us daily.  We find it impossible to believe people read “TheBigotBasher” waiting for scoop to drop on anyone, so that a link to libelous content on BigotBasher can be spread lightning speed across the Leftist blogosphere, destroying someone’s name and reputation across the Internet forever.

Almost IMMEDIATELY after BigotBasher launched his attack on us, that post was picked up by The Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground.  A host of other Leftist, Obama-supporting sites followed suit, repeating TheBigotBasher story as fact.

It is now impossible for us to ever remove all of this libel from Google searches.  We intend to sue as many people involved in this attack as possible, and will devote YEARS to go after anyone running that racist charge against us, but the Left scored a victory here because we are now required to devote part of our day to fighting this battle instead of continuing what we do here every day, which is to look at the political world from our moderate Democrat perspective and call the current DNC and White House out for their radical socialist ties.

The end game in all of this for the Left appears to be to shut us down, make us shut up, and scare us into submission. They have personally destroyed one of us here. They’ve made him unemployable in Chicago.  We have no idea how we are going to help him recover from this, but after this attack by the Left, his life as he knew it is done.

And, yes, in addition to the financial problems this causes, it has a personal impact, too.  Do you know what happens when you’re dating someone and that guy decides to Google you one day, just for fun, and stories accusing him of being a racist turn up on Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and other places? That person breaks up with you, if you didn’t already guess that, because he wants no part of being with a guy who’s getting attacked like this — for fear these people will come after him next because he’s associated with you.  At this point, after suffering through the maelstrom for two years, we just have to take lumps like that as being par for this course.  Our support for McCain/Palin in 2008, and our continued support for Governor Palin, makes us damn-near undateble in the LGBTQ community, since in Boystown, the only voting ever done is blind Democrat Liberal voting.  The fact we have many Republican friends now makes us pariahs.  But, throw in attacks like what Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, and BigotBasher have done, and the quality of our lives is further diminished. We’re truly being prevented from enjoying our lives to the fullest, being kept from employment opportunities, and being alienated in our community because of the attacks launched against us on a personal level by the Left — all because we dare to discuss politics and use our little niche here on the ‘Net to fight for the country we love as best as we know how.

The Left, through BigotBasher, made its attacks on us personal…and we tell you all of the above to stress what a personal impact this has.  Just imagine if this sort of thing was done to you.  What would your friends and family think when they Googled you?  What would prospective employers think?  Do you think you’d get the job you were applying for if a company thought they could be on the receiving end of harassment from the Left, too, if you were collecting a paycheck there?

Now, we’ve been aware of attacks like this on other people — on the personal level — launched by the Left before.

The Left called Bill and Hillary Clinton racists in 2008.

The Left called Geraldine Ferraro a racist.

The Left called Lynn Forester de Rothschild a racist.

The Left called John McCain and Sarah Palin racists.

If you do not fall to your knees and worship at the merest thought of Obama, “The Lightbringer”, you are called a racist.

This is the Left’s favorite weapon.  They use it a thousand times every day.

But, for some reason, few people ever stand up to the charge.  Few people ever seem to go after the people who make these sorts of claims, and who ruin people’s lives in anonymity.  Why is it allowable for someone like BigotBasher to post someone’s real name, use a real photo, and make false charges of racism designed to ruin a person’s life…when BigotBasher remains anonymous?  Why does WordPress allow BigotBasher a platform to launch an attack like this?

Why are Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground so quick to broadcast libelous accusations against private citizens with impunity?

How are all of these sites being coordinated, so that something posted on an obscure blog like BigotBasher on January 20th can be reposted and distributed to millions of people by close of business that same day?

Who are the people behind attacks like this?

Who is coordinating them?

Who at the DNC knows what’s going on, and are those people writing these scripts and using people like BigotBasher to punish those who don’t heed warnings and fall into line the way the DNC and Obama White House wish?

If Obama and everything he is doing to this country are so wonderful, then why do his supporters and followers employ tactics like this to attack those who don’t embrace him?

That’s the most important question of all, really, because it’s so counterintuitive.  If this really was the Lightbringer.  If this really was a new messiah.  If Obama had any idea what he was doing and if he was really good for this country, then thuggery would not be needed to silence his critics and prop this empty suit up.  If Liberals really were right, and if they really did know what was best for this country, then no bullying would be required to make anyone “fall into line”.

Wouldn’t we all be gladly drinking the Kool-Aid and riding on our unicorns if the Hope and Change Gang was right?

What We’ve Learned So Far About How Puma Hunters Are All Connected:

(to be updated later today, as we are still sorting through all the clues you have collectively uncovered, tying BigotBasher to other sites such as Rumproast.com, Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, Snarkopolitan, Bettycracker, and posters calling themselves Sean S., “Wonk Hussein”, “Kevin K.”, JohnD, and other aliases, which appear to be the same three people who have been coordinating hits on PUMAs since the PUMA movement began in the summer of 2008).

If you have any information about attacks against other PUMA sites by these people, and other instances where they’ve libeled private citizens as racists, outed their real identities, and coordinated efforts to make them unemployable through libel and slander, please let us know.

It appears there could be a RICO case against everyone in the Left coordinating this.  The crux of it is “tortious interference of contracts”, as well as libel charges.  Essentially, whoever is running these attacks for Obama on private citizens is costing PUMAs employment, as well as inflicting permanent personal damage to them.  Thus, those people should be held responsible for lost wages and the enormous monetary costs of hiring PR experts and Internet gurus to work for the next several years at removing every instance of the Left calling these private citizens racists.

If someone has to mount efforts like this to take back their good name, then the people who launched these attacks — and the people who instructed them to do so — need to be held accountable for it.
