Rich Heffley Denies and Admits His Involvement

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  October 29th, 2009 at 04:13 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Poor Rich Heffley.

After refusing to deny his involvement in the anti-Rubio website to a reporter yesterday and refusing to deny his involvement in the anti-Crist Hitler video, today he is issuing a non-denial. You see, it was not him who set up the website, but he passed along lots of the research.

So . . . considering the source file we found . . . is that an admission that someone else in the offices of the Republican Party of Florida set up the website? If so, there is a serious coordinate problem under federal law.

Heffley also says it is “insane” to think he created the Hitler video. Allegedly, someone forwarded it to him within three days of its creation and posting without fanfare on YouTube and Heffley got his dander up so much that he . . . errr . . . someone who he knows but will not name despite the source code showing it happened in his office . . . created a brand new website three days later and made that video the star of the show.

Right.

Riiiigggghhhtttttt.

By the way, it is important to remember exactly why Charlie Crist and Rich Heffley have tried to distract everyone by playing the Hitler and crappy website cards.

Why? Not because of this newscast, but because of this one.

    Heffley will try to erase his hardrives………. luckily they have forensic tools to retrieve data that was deleted…….

    take a look at Martin J. Sweet’s students down at Harriet Wilkes College. They could’ve been recruited to do the smear merchanting here, based on the fact that they were first in line on both the Hitler and Kat Harris lines of attack.

    That would explain why Heffley blew a gasket when his fingerprints were left in the HTML. Never supposed to point back at him, that’s what the pawns were for.

    Erick, go wash your mouth out with soap.

    I wonder if the Crist’s Campaign Shenanigans had something to do with his not appearing, fearing tough questions?

    If the clerk at the grocery store was under 21, she could punch the numbers into the cash register but someone of age had to come over and hit the key that rang it up. (Or she’d ask me to reach over and do it.) That way she wasn’t a minor “selling” alcohol.

    the evidence to date and his statements to the press are enough for a conviction. Guess he is not listening to a lawyer. Maybe he is listening the teh bus driverz?

    I posted this over at the Buzz comments section but I am not expecting that these questions will be answered any time soon. I had the same instincts Erick did about Heffley’s answers.

    I’m wonderding why “The Buzz” did not follow up on some of those answers.

    He said, “Someone forwarded him that Hitler YouTube video the other day, Heffley said, and he was so offended and annoyed about that and the barrage of one-sided attacks on Crist lately that he sent out a bunch of news articles to people who were putting together a web site.

    Someome forwarded the video? Who?

    “…so offended and annoyed about that and the barrage of one-sided attacks on Crist lately that he sent out a bunch of news articles to people who were putting together a web site. ”

    People? What people and how did HE know about their brand new website?

    It is so obvious that there is political chicanery going on here. I hope this story grows some legs…

    are you not?

    left leaning. But they were probably pissed at the ineptitude.

    an L.A. County Sheriff, once told me,

    Most criminals are caught because they’re stupid and can’t keep their mouth shut.

    It would appear this guy meets both criteria…

    Barry told him him that he would defriend him on Facebook if he did an interview with that non-news organization.

    Rubio appeared on “Your World” with Neil Cavuto today. He corrected Neil’s info on the current polls and said, “Republicans are tired of being told that they have to somehow be more like democrats in order to win elections. And I think that this campaign is going to prove that that is not true.”

    He was not asked about the latest controversy surrounding the possible collaboration of the Crist campaign in the bogus website.

    Quote:

    Is it true Governor Crist is in the closet? I’ve got friends that swear he is gay (not there is anything wrong with that)…. I wouldn’t have suspected nor do I believe it for a second… he is so well groomed and all…

    I’m afraid that if this type of dirty tricks campaign starts, someone will accuse the Governor of being gay and having a sham marriage to hide that fact. Then they may say he would then be subject to blackmail once he is in office, because you know those Obama people play by Chicago Rules, and that means dirty….

    Lord knows, I hate dirty politics and would really hate for this to become an issue… What consenting adults do behind closed doors is their own business and no concern of mine.. That’s my philosophy

    If the Governor IS Gay, I urge him to proudly come out of the closet and that way there will be no way Obama and his thugs can blackmail him if he is elected Senator.

    If he is not a Homosexual, then he should quickly address this issue publically and state that he is a happily married heterosexual… and is proud of that fact!

    I hear your website has direct ties to the Governor..let him Know that www.bloggybayou.com is open to him to comment on and post on any time he likes. My Door Is open…

    Cheers,

    And that’s why he’ll get his head handed to him in the primary.

    The Rubio campaign is fighting back against Crist. They have sent an email to supporters to address the bogus website:
    Here is the email and a few of my comments.

    I’d take Harris in a nano-second.

    When will Jeb Bush say something about this race?????

  • Wing Zero

    Every time I see this guy he gets sharper and sharper. When I get some spare cash, I’m sending it his way.

    I’d love to see a debate between Rubio and Crist. Crist would get smashed like a water melon at a Gallagher show.
