Is one of the world’s largest advertising agencies, which Michelle Malkin linked to astroturfing attacks on Sarah Palin in 2008, involved in the libelous attacks against moderate Democrats (of the PUMA variety) who the DNC wants silenced for speaking out against Obama and what Liberals are doing in Washington now?
Is there any connection between David Axelrod and this agency?
Is there a connection between the agency and someone running a known PUMA-hunting site?
Is there a connection between that PUMA-hunting site and the January 20th libelous attack on individuals here at HillBuzz?
Does the DNC pay David Axelrod to subcontract this ad firm to recruit its employees to run PUMA-hunting sites that encourage unpaid, unstable, vociferous PUMA-haters (in foreign countries like England, no less), to attack private citizens, libel and defame them, ruin their businesses, and destroy their lives?
Is there a way, through the path in question, to directly link someone like Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan in Birmingham, England (alias: TheBigotBasher, the troll who attacked us on January 20th) up to Axelrod and Organizing for America?
Was Nixon’s White House ever involved in this kind of personal attacks on private citizens?
Sure are a lot of questions today.
Got any answers?

What’s the backstory on “teh” as opposed to “the?”
January 30, 2010 at 1:54 am
(MQ-C waves hand!!!) Call on me I know!!!
‘Teh’ for ‘the’ was mentioned by the Boyz in a thread (from yesterday or possibly Thursday) about ‘how to spot a Troll posting.’
Alot of the Troll missives are cut and paste jobs…and they do things like add parentheses w(ould) c(ould); child(ren)…and they will purpose mistype ‘easy’ words (gee…they were typing so fast with their unique ‘thought’ that they transposed ‘the’) That sort of thing.
Actual, real live posters all have our styles/cadence…but the Boyz pointed out how the Troll Cut and Paste bunch are really a mishmash of prose.
Get teh picture?
January 30, 2010 at 1:00 pm
MQ-C … Do you mean “teh” is a freakin’ typo? I thought it was some savvy, smartass insider Web lingo I’m not privy to.
January 30, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Dittooo!!! I see it everywhere on postings and I think on purpose sometimes – like over at Ace. I think there is more to it.
February 1, 2010 at 10:08 pm
But it is a “planned typo” Cali Gran.
February 1, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Yes, MJdiva, sometimes others to it on purpose as mockery.
Such as President Obama (teh Precious) just gave his bestest speech evah!
January 30, 2010 at 10:52 am
The now private, pro-Hillary bitterpoliticz blog made up of former Taylor Marsh bloggers has been using the words “teh one” in reference to Obama for at least a year. I don’t remember how it came about, but I believe it to originally be a typo that the bloggers there just decided to use to mock Obama. I’ve always have found it kind of funny. It reminds me of incoherent drunk-speak, with “incoherent” being the word that best describes Obama supporters.
January 30, 2010 at 6:00 pm
It’s also ‘leet speak’:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
(learned that from Numb3rs :-)
January 31, 2010 at 6:04 pm
“Teh” is simply a typo version of “the”. It’s become part of the Internet nerdy “leet” speak I think. I’m guessing it started in the old BBS days. It’s morphed into chat lingo, LOL-speak and other Internet communication types.
The troll cutting and pasting may add something like that into their post to seem more “real”.
February 1, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Considering your additional info Tyrone, I now believe the “teh” could also have been a “secret signal” among Obama’s O-Boughts to signal who they were and who they were (are) working for election.
They have to have some way to ID who isn’t really an O-Bought opposer and who is in their O-Bought 5th Column.

Forgot to tell you, I live in Nevada and went to meet Sue Lowdon tonight. Tomorrow will be Danny Tarkanian. I will let you know my thoughts.
At this time, I am withholding my thoughts on Sue Lowen.
January 30, 2010 at 8:33 am
I saw Lowden on Fox one day and liked her a lot. She was funny and articulate and really had a good take on Reid. I will look forward to your comments. I have decided not to contribute any cash to any RNC organizations, but rather to specific candidates like Brown and Rubio, according to what my research tells me. Though I will end up investing more in politics, I feel like I will have more control over where my dollars are spent. I suspect lots of us are handling things this way (witness Brown’s moneybomb) because we are so unhappy with the ways things are.
January 30, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Sue Lowden would be no different than Reid. In fact she donated thousands to Harry Reid’s previous campaigns. She disenfranchised many voters at the state convention when she was chairman of the State Republican Party. She voted pro choice. We Nevadans WILL get Harry out of office, but please don’t help us get a RINO like Lowden.

I agree with you. Both Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian are RINOs. The true conservative in this race is Sharron Angle. Look at her record at SharronAngle.com or at the Nevada Legislature sight. She has always voted for lower taxes and smaller government.

The following article mentions the roles of Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, and David Axelrod in the marketing of the Obama brand…
Naomi Klein on how corporate branding has taken over America
http://www.reclaimthemedia.org/arts/activism/naomi_klein_how_corporate_bran1903
[...]
…When Obama was sworn in as president, the American brand could scarcely have been more battered – Bush was to his country what New Coke was to Coca-Cola, what cyanide in the bottles had been to Tylenol. Yet Obama, in what was perhaps the most successful rebranding campaign of all time, managed to turn things around. Kevin Roberts, global CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, set out to depict visually what the new president represented. In a full-page graphic commissioned by the stylish Paper Magazine, he showed the Statue of Liberty with her legs spread, giving birth to Barack Obama. America, reborn.
So, it seemed that the United States government could solve its reputation problems with branding – it’s just that it needed a branding campaign and product spokesperson sufficiently hip, young and exciting to compete in today’s tough market. The nation found that in Obama, a man who clearly has a natural feel for branding and who has surrounded himself with a team of top-flight marketers. His social networking guru, for instance, is Chris Hughes, one of the young founders of Facebook. His social secretary is Desirée Rogers, a glamorous Harvard MBA and former marketing executive. And David Axelrod, Obama’s top adviser, was formerly a partner in ASK Public Strategies, a PR firm which, according to Business Week, “has quarterbacked campaigns” for everyone from Cablevision to AT&T. Together, the team has marshalled every tool in the modem marketing arsenal to create and sustain the Obama brand: the perfectly calibrated logo (sunrise over stars and stripes); expert viral marketing (Obama ringtones); product placement (Obama ads in sports video games); a 30-minute infomercial (which could have been cheesy but was universally heralded as “authentic”); and the choice of strategic brand alliances (Oprah for maximum reach, the Kennedy family for gravitas, and no end of hip-hop stars for street cred).
January 30, 2010 at 1:27 am
On behalf of my chosen professions of marketing and PR, I’d like to apologize to the Citizens of the former United States of America. :(

January 30, 2010 at 3:06 am
Well, it may be the most comprehensive packaging evah, but when opened up, it’s empteh. All image, no substance. And of course every person conditioned by a lifetime of television rushed right out to buy into the product. They lined up to vote themselves into it.
When I told US Democrat friends in 2008 that this package was a complete fraud, because I had already seen it in eastern Canada with the Trudeau/Socialist phenomenon, they wouldn’t even listen to my points. And they still won’t admit to having been utterly conned by an illusion.
January 30, 2010 at 8:46 am
YES Trudeau
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Trudeau
( It’s wiki but it does capture the “essence” of the man)
He’s the one that truly messed up Canada.
My parents foolishly voted for him the first time due to his charm and charisma and “Cool Factor”.
Shortly after they became dyed in the wool conservatives ( fiscal that is). Nothing like a bad experience to taint you for life.
I wish more Americans would learn more about this odious toad because I see such strong parallels between him and Obama and if the States continues to support Obama you will end up in the same situation as Canada. ( Born and raised there so I should know)
January 30, 2010 at 8:51 am
Oh and interestingly enough Trudeau suffered from Parkinson’s.
Isn’t that what one of the hillbuzz boys thought that Obama is afflicted with or am I mistaken.
February 1, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Yes.
February 1, 2010 at 10:24 pm
And the “illusion” is, was, and always has been thinner then tin-foil wrapping on a stick of gum!
January 30, 2010 at 4:30 am
Yeah and for all that marketing expertise when the tires hit the road they ended up with scata. You know, Pampers is a brand too. But for all its advertising, slick packaging and promotional material all you end up with at the end of the day is the same old bag of shit.
January 30, 2010 at 9:07 am

It seems that terrorizing people via email is something that Saatch & Saatchi is familiar with…
Saatchi Sued Over “Terror Marketing Campaign” for Toyota
http://industry.bnet.com/advertising/10004176/saatchi-sued-over-terror-marketing-campaign-for-toyota/
A California woman has sued Saatchi & Saatchi for an offbeat PR campaign for Toyota in which, she alleges, she was terrorized by a fictional English football hooligan who insisted — via email — that he was going to show up at her house with his pitbull and crash on her sofa while he avoided the police.
The stream of emails to Amber Duik eventually ended with a reveal in an online video, per Courthouse News:
Eventually an actor in the “movie” revealed that the entire ordeal was a hoax, and that Duik had been “punked” by Toyota as part of a marketing campaign for its Matrix automobile.
The character, Sebastian Bowler, even has a MySpace page, Duik alleges. She claims she was “constantly in tears and shaking and sobbing in emotional distress” during his communications, which she described as a “terror marketing campaign.” The emails began:
The first message said: “Amber Mate. Coming to Los Angeles. Gonna lay low at your place for a bit. Till it all blows over. Bringing Trigger.”
The second message included Duik’s address, followed by the comment, “Looks all right mate! Nice place to hide out. We don’t need much though. Just a couch and a telly. Trigger don’t throw up much anymore, but put some newspaper down in case.”
This was followed by messages in which Bowler described trashing a hotel room and run-ins with police.
The final message stated: “Amber Mate. Had a brush with the law last night. Anyway, hopefully I will have lost them by the time I get to your place. Can’t wait to see you.”
Saatchi did indeed run a prank-style campaign, titled “Your Other You,” in which consumers could sign up their friends to be the subject of hoaxes that ended with an ad for the Toyota Matrix. Jalopnik describes it here.
January 30, 2010 at 2:06 am
Not to take the thread off topic…BUT since you mentioned Toyota…
Rush Limbaugh had a caller today, a guy who worked for Toyota for years. He has moved onto a different ‘brand’ but he was pretty fired up to make the call.
Why?
Well according to him (and a couple car repair message boards I have visited–I am having fuel pump issues…thx Government Motors!) Toyota mechanics are having a hard time ‘recreating’ the gas pedal issue in shop (the current recall…NOT the previous one involving carpeting which really DID involve the pedal getting engaged in the carpeting).
A fellow Buzzer, days ago, posted (on a Daily What’s On Your Mind thread?) about questioning the Toyota massive recall and sales cessation. The Buzzer was kind of dismissed…but now, thinking of the Limbaugh caller (they screen tightly so–nobody get on that they don’t want on); the blurbs on the car boards; the $1000 ‘sudden’ GM incentive (to ditch your Toyota); and now this little connection with Saatchi makes me wonder.
Just a little.
January 30, 2010 at 6:43 am
An item on Newsbusters says that O’s man R. LaHood ordered Toyota to make the massive recalls. Nothing seems to happen by coincidence in this administration. I also thought that GM having this ad campaign on tap was great timing. Not.
January 30, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Thought. 2009 Bilderberg group primary topic “allowing Japan into group”. Voted resounding “NO” by members? “They” do not feel Japanese cultural/business influences in alignment with organizational agenda. Then Worldwide Toyota recall, Billions? corporate undermining?
Coincidence? yeah, probably! but, hmmmm???
January 30, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Evan Bayh was at part of meeting, along with WJC etc.

January 30, 2010 at 2:04 am
YES!
That’s the one.. That is one of the firms that Axelrod uses.
Read that link on there for JAWA Report. Huge campaign violation. But oh well.
Anyway.. Axelrod had(s) two firms AKD&P and AKD. Plouffe was running them while Axelrod “stepped down” to work in the White House. Does anyone really believe those firms aren’t still working for him?
I don’t. Especially now that Plouffe is back with Obama.
Corruption and intimidation.. It’s night-time in America!
Speaking of intimidation. Look at this site put up by more political operatives of the White House.

http://www.patriotmajority.us/ Patriot Party 1-800-592-3076 info@patriotmajority.us
The name “Patriot Majority” makes you think of a half-dozen guys who got together to support veterans who happen to be Democrats. WRONG. Patriot Majority is one guy- this guy- Craig Varogo. Varogo is a national political strategist for Democrats and former Communications Director for Senate Majority Leader Harry Redi. Varoga stated in this article from the non-partisan Campaign Legal Center that his group focuses on energy and health care policies, not on defeating Republican candidates. Really? They run direct hit ads on Paulsen and other Republican candidates all over the country.
Out of $8.2 million total in contributions from the top 15 donors, $7.4 million explicitly came from unions. The two largest contributors in the 2008 cycle were AFSCME and SEIU, which are heavily allied with Democrats and the Obama administration. The two unions represent government workers at the state and federal levels, and in fact in combination provide almost all representation of public-sector employees.

Today the firm is led by Eric Sedler and includes the leadership of AKPD Message and Media. ASGK provides issue campaign management, message development and message delivery services to private sector and nonprofit organizations seeking to influence stakeholder opinion.
What We Do
At ASGK, we develop and manage communications campaigns with the same discipline, focus and intensity as we would a political campaign. We use the expertise we’ve gained running hundreds of political campaigns to bring the right communication approaches and tactics to public affairs and issue campaigns.
We specialize in several fields:
* Public Affairs
* Corporate Communications
* Message Development
* Crisis Communications
* Media Training
* Brand Management
* Advertising
* Digital Media
The common denominator in each of our projects is a disciplined focus on message development and message delivery. ASGK specializes in helping our clients determine their most powerful and persuasive messages. From there, we work with our clients to craft a plan to communicate the right message to the right audience using the most appropriate and cost effective mediums.
Just as we did with the Obama campaign, we analyze the needs of each client and put together a team for each project based on the specific goals of the campaign and the most appropriate outside expertise. We know, for example, which researchers have the most experience with focus groups, and which are better suited for public opinion surveys. We know which firm creates the most compelling direct mail, and which vendor has the most thorough program for fielding automated phone calls. Building the right team for the project is one of the most important steps a campaign takes in its infancy; ASGK helps our clients do so from day one.

The sad/scary part is that there will be no official investigations. Did you notice how ACORN was defunded last fall with NO investigation? How can congress defund an organization and not investigate it first or later?
If Nixon had supermajorities and a compliant press, would there have been any Watergate?
Americans should be wary of allowing too much power to any one party.
And thank goodness for bloggers. The only honest press out there.

They re-instated the funds too. When the cameras are there, they de-fund. Camera’s go away, they re-fund.
Not that the media doesn’t know about it.. They just don’t report it now.

And is ACORN still getting monies from United Way?
They were.
