Exurban League has more, as does Confederate Yankee. It turns out to be astroturf:
Here’s a partial list of those who helped produce this “grassroots” effort:
- Jeff Zucker — American television executive, and President & CEO of NBC Universal.
- Post-producer (former choreographer?) Holly Shiffer.
- Motion picture camera operator/steadicam specialist Peter Rosenfeld (appropriately enough, worked in “Yes Man,” a movie about ” a guy challenges himself to say ‘yes’ to everything for an entire year.”
- Darin Moran, another motion picture industry professional, who just finished filming — how appropriate — Land of the Lost.
- Andy Blumenthal, Hollywood film editor.
Jeff Zucker. This generation’s Leni Riefenstahl. Except without the talent.
Thanks HH! I’m reading everything, slowly, and I’m going to resist editorial comments until I finish. (Although I will say that the discussion page of the Wikipedia article on the Progress Party was even more interesting than the main article. ) For now, thank you again, and I hope my newfound interest in Norwegian politics will help inform our future debates!
