So it seems Roscoe Reynolds is a bit worried about his seat. So worried he’s hired Yellow Dog Strategy, the same organization that put together the George Allen “Macaca” video and the cartoon against Harris Miller that many viewed as having anti-semetic undertones.

This tidbit of information was brought to my attention and the collective attention of the Old Dominion Blog Alliance earlier this week when Carl Kilo sent the following e-mail to the ODBA mailing list (forwarded with permission):

Roscoe has hired the Yellow Dog Group to run his media online.

That is the Joe Stanley bunch, The Macaca master! The Harris Miller anti-semitic flyer, etc.

Something to think about.

It’s an interesting bit of information that many others might want to know about and could be a major sign of what is shaping up to be a strong challenge down in Virginia’s 20th Senate District. That Roscoe has hired Joe Stanley’s firm is big news. Jim Riley took this heads up and shared it with the world.

But now we get caught it a bit of a spin.

The next day, Ben Tribbett shares Jim’s news with the readers of his site but goes one step further. He says the release of such information was the result of a plot and coordinated campaign by the ODBA. How does he know this? Either he’s on the list or he’s being forwarded information from someone on the list. The ethics of Ben Tribbett’s having access to such list and forwarding information from said list aside, one starts to wonder why Ben Tribbett has suddenly decided to take this opportunity to not only reveal his access but also even get into such a baseless fight.

FACT: Joe Stanley’s Yellow Dog Group distributed the Harris Miller cartoon with anti-semetic overtones.

FACT: Ben Tribbett spread said cartoon to the blogosphere after being fed the flyer.

FACT: Joe Stanley’s Yellow Dog Group created the George Allen “Macaca” video.

FACT: Ben Tribbett “broke” the “Macaca” story after being fed the video.

Seems to me that if you hire Joe Stanley you hire Ben Tribbett as well.

Roscoe Reynolds was hit hard earlier this week. In response, he has brought on the Yellow Dog Group which now has turned to Ben Tribbett to try and turn the story from Roscoe and to a completely baseless and false claim of some grand conspiracy to merely point out the facts about Joe Stanley’s Yellow Dog Group past tactics and record of infamous “accomplishments”.

This is merely an attempt by Joe Stanley and Ben Tribbett to turn the ODBA, the Virginia blogosphere and its readers from the true story:

Roscoe Reynolds is in trouble.

Joe Stanley and Ben Tribbett are merely trying to shoot the messengers. They have both shown their true colors in the past and if this is the ilk that Roscoe Reynolds is going to associate himself with, well, not only is this race going to get worse before it gets any better but the voters in VA’s 20th might want to know what their current Senator is up to.

Or is it “none of their business”?
