Lone Wolf Email Hoaxer Narrative Not Credible

The Special Election Email hoaxer has come forward.

(Concord Monitor) A liberal activist who was booted from Maureen Mann’s special election campaign said he “probably had one too many beers” before he sent out a hoax email saying Mann’s opponent was bowing out of the race.

Carl Gibson said creating a fake email account and sending a phony press release was “a prank I thought I would play in the heat of the moment.

He thought it was funny.  Ha ha, you just violated election law.

And while that is funny, the statements in the Monitor article reek of coordination and narrative building.  And the premise that Gibson and Mann did not separate on good terms has also already been debunked.

Gibson claims the campaign let him go (he was the tweeter in chief) because he wanted to take Maureen further left and she objected.  I’m sorry, what?  Mann has a voting record.  There is very little (if any) room to her left.   We are also discovering that the email send to the media was not sent to the media.  It went to a select few including the Concord Monitor an NPR.

Ed Mosca, who has been all over this little scandal, revealed this evening that claims of distance between Gibson and Mann cannot be substantiated by

Gibson’s story doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.  I checked and as of today he and Mann are still Facebook friends.  And less than a month ago, Mann was re-tweeting Gibson’s tweets

And since Mann and Gibson are Facebook friends, it’s hard to believe that Mann was not aware that Gibson had been arrested in connection with the Occupy movement

And Carl has an IMDB bio…

From Carl Gibson’s IMDB Bio (From Fcebook)

In a collaboration with the Yes Men, Carl and other US Uncut activists, posing as General Electric, distributed a hoax press release on a hoax website claiming General Electric would be donating its $3.2 billion tax refund to the U.S. Treasury and surveying the public on which budget cuts should be reduced with the donation. The hoax wasn’t confirmed until 30 minutes after the release was distributed by the Associated Press, causing General Electric’s stock to temporarily drop by $3 billion.

So much for the loan wolf hoax email theory

This stinks badly of a desperate coordinated left-wing smear with a side of let’s try to make Mann look like a moderate in the aftermath.

Gibson is a scumbag.  Mann retained him for his social media acumen (for a frikkin NH House race, who does that?).  Mann has been engaging in personal attacks against her opponent that–were she the Republican and Dean-Bailey the Democrat–would have the entire left-wing rouges gallery in a constant uproar.

Oh, and Mann is nearly a Marxist and a bad fit for an otherwise Republican district.

Rockingham 32 Republicans should be adequately outraged and turn out in unheard of numbers to send a message to New Hampshire Democrats.
