Discovered: How Conservatives recycled U.S. dumping duty site health care to attack Brown

How sophisticated is the digital strategy of the conservatives? If you have encountered in the campaign "would be forgiven for thinking that the cash portion Gordon has conjured up an elite squad of wizards Internet ether.

Without doubt, a very polished. The Conservatives' official blog revealed yesterday Cash campaign attacking Gordon links the Prime Minister to join the union, and encourage supporters to win "action points" for reading, the gift or the chirping of the campaign, which is built around Facebook Connect.

That's all very bright. But if all this seems a little too polished - probably because the site is based on an off-the-shelf model developed by a U.S. lobby group against health. In the words of @ wdjstraw: "Tory # cashgordon campaign brought to you by the team that tried to overthrow the U.S. health reform. # ToryFail"

Compare with gordon.com noenergytax.com cash. (No, as I said first, Operation Waiting Game, which is rallying supporters against the health reforms of President Obama):

Gordon Cash, political reports notebook, also hosted sites with Hands Off, which brings together tweets against health reforms, Americans for the request of the military against homosexuals in the armed forces, which for good measure, the attacks of the Heritage Foundation of legislation against carbon trading. All traveling companions perfect right-wing, but perhaps a little inconvenient for the team of Cameron.

Political Scrapbook site claims a cost of $ 15,000, making an expensive decision, "he managed to herd visitors through a linear series of operations, cash prizes Gordon users a system imbued with the school primary "merit points". Once you've read Michael Gove Bonkers from "new militant tendency" speech (described in the Financial Times as "lazy policy") receives a gold sticker - Oh, sorry - 25 points. Helping Charlie Whelan bombarded with tweets bullying (directly from the book kerryout #) allows 20 points. "

@ BeauBodOr "Like the fact that they receive a 50% bonus points if you're a non-dom on the website cashgordon #." We do not think that's true, but then again ...

And finally, who improvised the car to a public place not decided tweets with moderate cashgordon # hashtag. Butcher Cue:

@ OllyBeat "all tweets with # cashgordon appear on the website of the Conservative campaign. Sh * t The door is open and the crazies are pouring in I'll see you there ..."

Update: And ... gordon.com cash has been withdrawn. Now directed back to conservatives.com. But only after the corrupt, not only for moderate Tweets, but the page was the acceptance of code that allow the page to be hacked and redirected.

Surprisingly, the site was long enough for the situation escalating and language tweets uncomplementary naughty fun with an image of Cameron Dave 'and finally, the inevitable Rickroll / porno hack. So as a redirect to the site of the Labor Party.

I bet you will not see a moderate hashtag conservatives.com for a while.
