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.

    He was paid to create the ad.... .... by Karl Rove.

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

    Or maybe it was Edwards.
