Once Joe Anthony's Obama MySpace site is deleted, his blog post (mentioned above) will no longer be accessible. Here is a mirror of it available here.

He was in it for the money from the get-go!

Notice that Joe refused to acknowledge the ridiculous nature of his demand for $39,000 for a MERE myspace page!

Notice that Joe ADMITTED that he was in it for the money and considered it "work."

Then quit emailing me. Go bark at fire trucks or something.

Work?

You were VOLUNTEERING.

Or do you want to ADMIT that you were just in it for the money from the get-go?

$39,000 for a MYSPACE page!?!? If your motives were as pure as you claim, you wouldn't be seeking that insane amount of money for a (keyword) MYSPACE page!

Cyber-squatting is the term which comes to mind. You got all those "friends" (including me) because they believed that they were being friends with the Barack campaign, NOT because they were being friends with some schmo who wants to exploit the Barack campaign. NO WHERE on the page did you say "this is Joe's page." In fact, the page LOOKED and APPEARED to be the official campaign presence on myspace! If it had appeared to be what you now claim it to be, I wouldn't have joined you!

Get over yourself already.

Good morning to you too.

right, $39,000 for 2.5 years work. outrageous.

Chris Hughes was paid $13,000 in the first quarter alone for something I had already accomplished on my own. Maybe that explains why he wanted to take the credit for it.

Come back and talk to me when someone tries to steal your work.

Peace,

-Joe

You have no credibility. You are patently anti-Barack.

$35,000 for a MYSPACE Page?!?!?!? Are you insane? And this "Do the right thin Barack" BS is just futhur evidence of your attempts to extort money from the campaign. If this was really about you volunteering to help Barack, you'd have never sought such an unreasonable sum of money. If you had half a leg to stand on, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

That's not true.

I don't post comments that offend me, sure. This is my personal page.

Also not true about the money. I told techpresident, the first and only media source to have all the details.

I have nothing to hide.

When you only post comments which border on glorifying you. I find it funny that you never mentioned the amount, until that phone call leaked. Allow some posts which question whether or not 39 THOUSAND dollars is reasonable, or make it readilly obvious that you're just a scam.

MySpace isn't work, it's a hobby. To expect a middle-class annual salary for a MySpace page is bordering on fraudulent.

I challenge you to provide one verifiable example of a MySpace page selling for $39 THOUSAND!!! And you have the gall to call it "nominal!"

Either allow dissenting point of view through, or lose all credibility. I'll make friends with yours to get the dissenting point of view across if you don't.

Good Work, JKillian.

It's pretty obvious that this guy wasn't in it authentically to help Obama.

He's a schmuck. And I'd have been pissed to know that some of my campaign donations were spent on placating some nobody myspace fanboy to the tune of $39k. Thank god the campaign knew better.

This guy acts like he created something novel. He acts like he had 160k friends because of how awesome his page was or how good his marketing of it was. All he did was add friends. That's it. They were drawn to the site because of how inspiring Obama is. I'd be surprised if 1% even knew who the hell "Joe Anthony" was.
