Talk:Hiawatha Bray

I'm relocating the following here to Talk as it perhaps is more appropriate to post it here both as a commentary on how Bray has been hiding his agenda in plain sight and as an illustration of how others may have done the same.


 * Googling, for example, "monitortan.com", bush, reveals that Bray, using his email addy "watha@monitortan.com", has the habit of forwarding politically significant articles to blogspots with his own personal opinion/editorial inserted as a preface.

Although it is assumed that his political "activism" emerged during the 2004 campaign, this from 2002 shows that he was using the "watha@monitortan.com" addy much earlier:

Forwarded Message: From: Hiawatha Bray  Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 11:21:54 -0400 To: dave@farber.net, ip  Subject: RE: <[IP]> speech by Rep Stark. D Calif

Bray's assessment of Stark is scathing and a good example of his later treatment of John Kerry:


 * "The only thing that's stunningly clear from this speech is that Rep. Stark

is a fool. This crude, insulting, ill-argued pile of claptrap would be a lifelong embarassment to the man, if he had the sense to understand his own folly. ... Among Stark's more glaring idiocies:"

I suspect that he has been much the same thing between 2002 and 2003, but using another email addy.

For whatever reason, Bray has done a number of articles on outsourcing, particularly about the Phillipines.

Another example, this time using addy "h_bray@globe.com":
