Successful hoaxing online

Salon has for the last few weeks run a hoax that a 'Republican working anonymously' is writing posts. Apparently, the readers, or at least those who comment/respond to the postings, have not realized (or at least have not mentioned) that the writing is clearly bogus. Though the column does present 'apologetics' for the Right Wing, the writer's style and language is enough to make a careful reader realize it's fake.

Check out the series.
