Maker of Anti-Clinton Video Outed, Loses Job

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.'"

Before the end he realized...

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.

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.

Clinton II: "It's a TRAP!"
Bush II: "We shall rule the Galaxy, as Father and Son!"

This is how liberty dies. With thunderous quoting of Star Wars.

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'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?

Don't you tell me what's lost meaning, you fascist.

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.

As for the rest, can we stop calling people we don't like fascists? The word has lost almost all meaning now.

I agree. Let's all pick a NEW word, everyone! I hear Anne Coulter has suggested 'faggot'.

Maybe he's a farmer and what he does actually feeds him... I'm a manure salesman, and I recommend the salad bar.

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.

And I'm sure out of the original 50,000 as least a couple actually only have 1 eyeball. So 12,502.
