Maker of Anti-Clinton Video Outed, Loses Job

Posted by kdawson on from the on-his-own-time dept.

Raul654 writes "Philip de Vellis, the author of the anti-Hilary Clinton viral video was outed yesterday on the Huffington Post. The company he worked for, Blue State Digital — a Democratic Internet strategy company that does work for Barack Obama — has now fired him as a result. Said Vellis: 'I made the "Vote Different" ad because I wanted to express my feelings about the Democratic primary, and because I wanted to show that an individual citizen can affect the process.'"

    It was just before he was fired, he finally realized the horrible truth - he loved Big Sister.

    And a boot descended over mankind's face, forever.

      I really liked your video and would like to see you in person to discuss it. Meet me at Fort Marcy Park tomorrow at 6.

    He should have used the word "innovation." Microsoft has been ripping off people for years and calling it that.

    Heck, Cheney even shot an old man in the face, and the man apologized for it. ;)

    It's not a partisan thing. It's a general political thing. Some people are better at it than others, it's true, but everyone does it.

    He's fed by his skill (and now 15 minutes of fame), not by his employer. I have this feeling your employer is ripping you off. Did you know most of us receive money from our employers?

    Think about it - Hillary looks bad, AND Obama looks bad! This has to be the work of Republicans.

    Hold on, is this one of those philosophical political type of statements?

    Don't you know this is /.?
    Unless you have a completely biased, un-supported claim that somehow reverts back to Bill Gates being the anti-christ, then your on the wrong site.

    Take your insightful intellectual conversation elsewhere.
