HillBuzz History
Founded and edited by Hillary Clinton campaign volunteer Kevin DuJan in 2008, Hillbuzz.org has evolved into one of the Internet’s most heavily-trafficked political humor and punditry sites, attracting over 13 million readers in its first two years. Hillbuzz.org offers DuJan’s unique perspective as a gay man, Cleveland Ohio native, former Democrat and Tea Party activist, along with commentary and illustrations from several undercover Conservative and Independent contributors. Kevin DuJan has been interviewed by CNN, the Associated Press and USA Today, among others, and Hillbuzz.org has been featured by Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, RedState.com, AmericanSpectator.com, TheAtlantic.com, and a number of prominent political websites.
DuJan began volunteering for Democrat presidential campaigns in high school, and so far has campaigned in nearly 30 states. But the 2008 campaign, and the misogyny directed at Hillary Clinton by both the Obama campaign and the mainstream media, transformed DuJan from a lifelong Democrat to an Independent.
Hillbuzz.org gained wide readership in Conservative circles when Kevin DuJan’s open letter to George and Laura Bush was featured on Rush Limbaugh’s nationally syndicated radio show and web site in November of 2009. In the letter, DuJan and the other contributors to Hillbuzz.org—all gay men living in the predominantly gay “Boystown” neighborhood in Chicago—apologized to President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, saying, ” we didn’t appreciate you while you were in office, but we thank Heaven we’ve wised up and can see the good you are out there doing, under the radar, today.”
DuJan, a marketing and fundraising consultant, has created a community on Hillbuzz.org that allows Americans of all political stripes to interact and get to know each other in a respectful, irreverent, but always pro-America environment. His goal is to help Conservatives defeat Leftists with “choose your own adventure”-style political activism.
