Faison Strikes (Out) Again on Twitter?
2012-03-12 - by
Last week I blogged (“Anti-Social Media”) about tweets by Jeanne Milliken Bonds, Bill Faison’s campaign manager. A TAPster now sees evidence that Faison’s campaign is behind a fake Bob Etheridge Twitter account.
The TAPster spotted identical tweets from both Bonds and the parody site “Bobby(B.B)Etheridge.”
Both Bonds and B.B. had tweeted: “The “restless energy” east of I-95 is caused by exorbitant energy costs that are hurting middle class families & the poor. #ncgov#ncpol.”
“Restless energy,” of course, is a reference to Walter Dalton’s new web video.
The fake Etheridge site identifies itself this way: “(B.B.) stands for Boom Boom. I’m your next Gov, and have the right to know who you are! Everyday is #FF! #ncga #ncpol #NCGOV #NC2012 yes, *parody account*.”
The TAPster observes: “There’s a reason Faison is at 2 percent in the polls.”
