McCain Spokesman was Hoaxster Al Gore’s Research Director

August 10, 2010 By 5 Comments

It should come as no surprise that John McCain’s spokesman was the Research Director for Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection.

John McCain has no problem hiring individuals who fabricate falsehoods and spins it in a way to fool voters. That’s what’s happening in Arizona and if John McCain pulls off a re-election bid, he can thank Brian Rogers.

Here are several excerpts from Rogers’ political rounds:

Here’s a curious development for you: Brian Rogers, spokesperson for John McCain’s presidential campaign last year, is now working for Al Gore.

Rogers sent an email dispatch on Friday announcing his new job as research director for Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection. In the email, Rogers said he will be “working on the Repower America campaign to pass comprehensive energy and climate change legislation.”

On the campaign trail last year, Rogers’ shining moments included attacking Barack Obama for opposing increased domestic oil and gas production, arguing that Obama lived in “a frickin’ mansion” that was “bought in a shady deal with a convicted felon,” and insinuating that Obama is an “arugula-eating, pointy headed professor-type.”

I guess we’re supposed to say something about strange bedfellows here … (Grist.org)

And,

And when McCain press secretary Brian Rogers said last week he was leaving to work for Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, fellow McCain aide Michael Goldfarb declared, “Everybody knew Rogers was a tree-hugger, but I didn’t think he’d take it this far. He’s dead to me.” (The Hill)

And,

McCain’s director of communications Brian Rogers is now 0 for 3 and his job security is looking bleak. Rogers is pounding away with the press releases two and three a day regurgitating as many of the same attacks over and over. He is being ignored. The press releases are being deleted without being read. The credibility of McCain’s people with their so called exclusives and early releases “just to you” are falling on deaf ears. The press knows Rogers has gone as wide as he could to every outlet on the list in Arizona. The only people listening is MSNBC, the leftist buddies of Rogers throwing him a bone because he did so well for Al Gore. (Tucson Citizen)

My statement on a recent post

August 10, 2010 By

On August 5th a post appeared on Sonoran Alliance titled, “LD4 House Race: What the heck is going on?” In that post, the writer asserted that the person behind the scenes of a website called “Crazy Jack Harper” was a reporter at the Arizona Guardian.

That is not the case and the post has since been “pulled.”

In researching their article, “Mad Arizonan” cited the domain name registry information listed for the domain name “CrazyJackHarper.com.” They even took a screen shot of that registrant information that included the name of the Arizona Guardian reporter.

Last Friday, I received a phone call from that same reporter explaining that he was not the individual associated with the website. He explained, and I agreed that someone was falsifying that information probably to make him appear to be the mastermind behind the scenes. When we spoke on the phone, this reporter stated that the person(s) behind the site had changed the administrator again to another fictional name not associated with the Arizona Guardian. I asked the reporter to email me a statement regarding the matter and that I would issue my own statement clarifying that the post had been inaccurate. I never heard back from the reporter.

It appears that the individual(s) behind the scenes of the CrazyJackHarper.com website have duped a number of people including the writer of the recent post.

I am especially angry with those who put up the site. They obviously lied about their identity as the administrator and then libeled a reporter with the Arizona Guardian and ultimately, brought Sonoran Alliance into their deception by duping one of our writers.

Anything to do with that website will be removed and rejected from Sonoran Alliance.
