Since both ABC News and the New York Times have made half-assed attempts at trying to figure out the identity of abrad2345, the mysterious YouTuber who seemingly hates everyone in the GOP except Rudy Giuliani, we thought we’d give it another shot, too!
A Big Head DC tipster has found something that might be the biggest clue yet. Yesterday, he notes, the Giuliani campaign “relaunched” its Web site, its YouTube initiative and its MySpace page. And, on the very same day, the first abrad2345 video in two months appears!
So, it seems at least probable that the Giuliani camp may be aligned with abrad2345’s doings — still, abrad2345 is a pretty smart guy, having eluded us thus far (we’ve even sent him messages!), so he could have read about plans for a Giuliani Web re-launch on Giuliani’s own Web site over the Labor Day weekend and then put out the video on the same day in an effort to thwart and confuse conspiracy theorists everywhere.
But! It’s also true that Giuliani hired a bunch of new media people this summer. Maybe one of them is doing this super-sneaky stealth campaign. We’ve got our eyes especially focused on Dan Meyers, a young Giuliani campaign operative, who’ hosting a YouTube series called, “Running with Rudy.”

[…] By the time the Giuliani campaign hired a new team of media consultants in the early fall, its solution was to start posting clips from a young campaign volunteer on YouTube and MySpace. The guy in question, a likable enough junior staffer named Dan Meyers, was what you might have expected for a young Republican: Clean cut, shirt and tie, and all the charisma of burnt melba toast. With no humor, production value or edge of any kind, these YouTube clips were doomed. In short, when the satirical anti-Giuliani videos are averaging ten times as many hits as the official videos, that does not bode well for your online strategy. […]
[…] On a more conspiratorial note, comes the interesting connection of the hoaxer with youtube.com poster abrad2345. The hoaxer used a sockpuppet to promote himself, while having the sockpuppet (“Ronald” at Crooksandliars.com) link to abrad2345 videos. The hoaxer himself has mentioned these videos, and has linked to stories about abrad2345. Both abrad2345 and the hoaxer appear to be very fond of using homophobic, transgenderphobic and racist terminology. […]
