Jeb Eddy joins thousands of demonstrators to protest the war in Iraq on Saturday.


The only problem is that he's a complete fraud. Here's the information on his political contributions, from the FEC (via Newsmeat):

NEWSMEAT - JEB EDDY's federal campaign contributions

It's the same story at OpenSecrets.org...

Crockspot at Conservative Underground was the one who first used a little Google-fu to debunk this guy's con job. The San Francisco Chronicle has fallen for this guy's act on more than one occasion, which should hardly come as a surprise.

Shock & Blog has more links to the Google evidence against Eddy.


Update: In case you're wondering Jeb Eddy is not a fake identity. See the photo (first picture in the third row) on this page for proof.


Update 2: Vlae Kershner, news director for the San Francisco Chronicle web site, responds to a reader inquiry about the Eddy's identification, "Thanks for writing. It's an Associated Press photo. I removed it from the two articles where I could find it on the website.. No word on wether a correction will be issued for this February 24, 2005 article. The other suposed Republican in that article, Margaret Garvin, she's a Democratic plant too...


Update 3: (April 24, 2006) He's back!!!

Do you think this could mean that when we see comments here on Wizbang by someone claiming to have voted republican until Bush did _____ (fill in the blank)they might have been being more than just a little dishonest?

The shameless tactics from the left never cease to amaze me. That's what they've become though; a party of liars, cheats, and extremists who will do anything to make sure their man (or woman more likely) is in the White House in 2008.

SEEING AS HE'S OBVIOUSLY A LIAR, I'D BET MR. EDDY IS INDEED A REPUBLICAN, TRYING TO SULLY THE REPUTATIONS OF PROGRESSIVES IN THE BAY AREA. A PHONY AGENT PROVOCATUER, IF YOU WILL (JUST LIKE GANNON, THE PARLOCK FAMILY AND OTHER WELL DOCUMENTED GOP FRAUDS.) SINCE THE MAN "IS A SOFTWARE DESIGNER", HE MUST BE QUITE FAMILIAR WITH COMPUTERS AND THE INTERNETS. APPARENTLY HE REALIZES THAT THE RIGHT-WING-MUD-SLINGING-BLOGGING-MACHINE (THAT HE'S UNDOUBTABLY A PART OF) WOULD PRY INTO HIS PRIVATE FINANCES AND TRY TO DEMEAN AND DISGRACE HIM IN THE SAME MANNER DAN RATHER WAS PUBLICLY PILLORIED. HIS NAME IS LIKELY NOT EVEN JEB EDDY. JEB EDDY WOULD JUST BE A DISPOSABLE IDENTITY TO BE DISCARDED AFTER THE STORY BREAKS. BUSHIE PSYOPS ARE SO TRANSPARENT - ITS LIKE THEY'RE NOT EVEN TRYING.

I can't tell if this Oliver guy really believes in the Rovian double-fake conspiracy, or if, in an extra-sneaky-triple-ironic way he is making fun of people who would believe such a thing.

The Dems are getting so hard to parody these days, it's hard to tell.

Eddy's tactic of faking being a Republican is a leftwing device that has come into common usage within the past few years. So I'm not surprised to see it trotted out yet again. What irritates me is that evidently the SF Chron reporter(s) couldn't be bothered to do even a simple google search to verify the guy's claims. What kind of fact checking procedures are in place at the Chron, I'd like to know.

Apparently, as with Dan Rather's fraudulent memos, they thought the story was too good to check.

oliver bush,

Surely you jest. Husband and wife co-tag teaming as Executive Director of a left-leaning foundation? Donating to only Democratic entities during election season?

I hope you'll corroborate Phinn's take lest you appear the fool. Now, of course, if this is not Mr. Eddy and is some Rovian plant dressed up as an Eddy, then all bets are off. I'll assume that the AP, responsible organization that it is, reviewed his DL#, birth certificate, SS#, and/or blood work-up to confirm his ID.

I FIND IT VERY TELLING HOW BUSH'S MINIONS IN THIS NEWSGROUP IMMEDIATELY TRASH ONE OF THEIR OWN (EDDY) FOR 'LEAVING THE PLANTATION', SO TO SPEAK, AND BREAKING WITH PARTY LINE. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THEY HAVE A IRRATIONAL AND DEEP SEATED HIDDEN HATE FOR THEIR FELLOW THUGS, AND JUST CANNOT WAIT FOR ONE OF THEM TO SCREW UP LIKE EDDY HAS, AND THEN TO FEAST UPON HIS EXPOSED FLESH AND DRINK HIS STILL WARM BLOOD IN A CANNIBALISTIC ORGY OF SYMBOLIC RIGHT-WING-HATE.

EDDY DID THE WORST THING A REPUBLICAN COULD POSSIBLY DO. HE LET THE MASK SLIP.

OregonMuse,
When the story fits their notions of what is right, they don't need to fact check. They are speaking truth-to-power.
Oliver,
So he spent how much money, over the course of 7-8 years, so that when somebody Googles him, it would show he donated democrat? And all of this is an elaborate scheme to discredit the democrats when he claims he is a republican that does not support the GOP?
Man, that is some premium BDS you have going for you.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE 'JEB EDDY' IN THE PHOTO IS THE SAME MAN SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER WITH HIS COLORFUL SIGN. THE GUY AT THE MURAL CEREMONY IS WEARING SUNGLASSES - THERE IS NO WAY A NORMAL PERSON WITHOUT TELEPATHIC VISION COULD MAKE A MATCH. THAT'S JUST FOR OPENERS.

Ok, let's take a look at the content. And what do we discover? That the content makes no sense. Waste of time even fooling with something this batty.

When you learn how to talk without shouting (in other words, civilized) and make actual, you know, sentences and stuff, then maybe there can be a conversation.
