As we originally reported, millionaire immigrant-basher Jack Davis has created a site that violates the copyright of Red to Blue candidate Jon Powers in the Twenty-Sixth District.

It doesn't really take a lot of ingenuity to rip off someone's web site. It takes a special level of ignorance, however, to enact the following sequence.

First, a screenshot from Davis' spoof site.

Okay, so we're all eagerly awaiting the REAL War Kids Relief story (War Kids Relief is a charity started by Powers in 2005 to help Iraqi children orphaned by the war). Well, it showed up today, as a blogspot blog, available here (h/t Phil Anderson).

You know what's really stupendous?

The new blog, already announced on a site directly claimed by the Davis campaign, complete with a disclaimer and a phone number that reaches his corporate office, claims to have no affiliation with the Davis campaign.

Right now the race is centered on the Democratic primary, which takes place on September 9th. The primary is between Jack Davis, the three time professional Congressional candidate, cooky millionaire; Jon Powers, the substitute teacher, Iraqi war hero who returned from service to start a non-profit that has a lot of questions; and Alice Kryzan, the non-existent third wheel who is irrelevant. [...]

But the real purpose of this blog is to get to the bottom or the real story about War Kids Relief out there. This isn't a pro- or anti- Jon Powers website, it's the opportunity for both sides to get information out there to dispell any questions or rumors ongoing. [Emph. added]

People, when something is announced on one of your sites, playing the "I'm just an interested citizen" card is going to make you look stupid. Whoever does Jack Davis' internet is, it would appear, really, really dumb.

Or maybe the Davis campaign feels a slight sense of shame over attacking their opponent for starting a charity that helps war orphans, who knows? Be that as it may, their fingerprints are all over this - because they announced it, with the same language used on both announcement and finished product. Really, really dumb.
