Michael Falcone in today's NYTimes blog notes that
Republicans were forced to strip the comment wall and discussion board from the page attached to its new Facebook parody, BarackBook.com, which just went online early this morning, because of comment posts that were racist and anti-Muslim ... and some that were anti-Republican too.
And who is the named culprit?
Our very own
clubfed34's diary did the noble deed
In addition to some vulgarities, the site also became the target of liberal bloggers at DailyKos.com, who urged their readers to "befriend barackbook and add the application and basically turn it into a pro-Obama site." DailyKos diarist, clubfed34, added: "It’s already been started in barackbooks discussion boards. Bonus points to anyone who makes a facebook page mocking Mcsame and to anyone who can get barackbook.com to crash!!"
The RNC built this house out of straw in the first place
The site had been designed by the Republican National Committee as an imitation of the popular social networking site, Facebook, and the comment wall appeared on the application page that allows users to link BarackBook to their personal Facebook profiles.
And the big bad wolf diary cited by Falcone generated zero recommends and only 6 comments, so it really wasn't the best example of how we can huff and puff.
But note how virtuous the RNC is portrayed
Alex Conant, a spokesman for the R.N.C., said the ultimate goal of scrubbing the Facebook application page was to make sure the content was "consistent with a respectful campaign."
Anytime a kossack is blamed for chaos, I think he should be saluted !!
clubfed34, we need to figure out an award for collateral damage in your name.
