Hillary-1984 creator outed - what a shame!

So the guy responsible for the very creative “1984” parody bashing Senator Clinton (a.k.a. “The Banshee”) outed himself.

Sad.

It’s sad because I was seriously hoping that he would have kept hidden in the shadows of the Internet.

Before he outed himself over at The Huffington Post, just about everyone kept on wondering who he is and which side of the outdated two-dimensional spectrum he existed in. They were wondering what his ultimate agenda was, why he chose to go after the Banshee and plug Obamamania. Was he an Obamamaniac? Was he a Rovian Swift-Boater pretending to be an Obamamaniac? He could have been anyone.

And that, of course, is both the magic and the fear of the Internet. Anyone could have come up with that parody ad if they have the right resources. I could have done it if I had the time and the resources. Post it under an anonymous name, sit back and watch the hits build. Then come up with another similar ad. Post that and watch the fireworks. He could have done this over and over again, each time frustrating just about everyone.

Instead, he outed himself. And in doing so, he revealed himself to be just an Obamamaniac who worked for the company that handled the website for Obabmamania – and now is out of work. The company he used to work for could lose that cushy contract as well. And it gets the normal bunch of dirty-tricks operatives off the hook.

“See?” the Rovian operatives would exclaim. “It’s not us! The Dems are doing this all to themselves!”

Of course I’m still wondering why we are even bothering to waste any breath on this subject. IT IS NOT ELECTION SEASON YET! Cripes, this is like asking people if they’ve bought all of their Christmas presents yet!
