This is actually a month old and seems to have sunk without a ripple, but it’s a textbook example of NY ad execs (pretending to be children, yet, like Facebook stalkers) trying to build a Potemkin “grassroots” campaign to scare politicians into line.
Codrea has details at Oathkeepers:
So who is “WeCan.vote”?
“The initiative was created by three adults—Danielle Clemons, Frank Garcia, and Giulia Magaldi, all of whom work hold [sic] creative posts at top agencies in the advertising world,” the “report” continues. Checking their LinkedIn profiles, they all work for New York-based ad agency Droga5
Advertising professionals trying to manipulate public opinion on guns…? We’ve seen that before plenty of times. Recall that Million Mom March founder Donna Dees-Thomases represented herself as just a mom who got involved, despite being a CBS publicist and the sister-in-law of a close friend and advisor to Hillary Clinton. Similarly “stay-at-home mom” Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action “had a 15-year career as a communications executive for both public relations agencies and Fortune 500 corporations.” Likewise, former Brady Campaign President Dan Gross “was the youngest-ever partner at the JWT advertising agency.”
And we’ve seen the “pros” at work, from McCann New York featuring children having a sex toy battle, to Saatchi & Saatchi rewriting history with the Founding Fathers adding an “as long as people aren’t being dumb-asses” qualifier to the Second Amendment, to Grey doing “hidden camera interviews” for a “public service announcement, and leaving unmentioned that the supposed subjects having their minds changed on guns were identified on filming permit as “actors.”
This is never going to stop. Coastal city wanna-be “elites” trying to dictate terms to flyover-country deplorables, I swear it’s like being surrounded by ducks trying to peck you to death.
Oh yes… duck bites. Who was it who wrote about those way back in the day? Was it Claire, or was it a forum member, maybe Wogglebug?
