Who Really is Rob Black?

Remember that guy who totally hated on Tristan Bettencourt and posted a web site with all sorts of nasty rumors about him? Well, that's nothing compared to what's been put out on Rob Black, one of the candidates running against Chris Daly in District 6. You may think that Rob comes off as one of those aging hipster types who looks like Ted from "Queer Eye", a nice enough guy with an impressive resume of political involvement, but you would be wrong. See, according to the site, Meet Rob Black, Rob Black is actually some deep-undercover ops guy who single-handedly brought oppression, war, and dictatorships to several third world countries.

See, Rob joined the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs and traveled to several third world countries to try and bring democracy to them. It didn't go so well. Or, at least, a lot of the countries he was involved in had bad things happen to them, you know, like the kinds of things that happen to third world countries. Countries like Zambia and Liberia and Paraguay. What does this have to do with Rob? Well, as the blog says: "Rob Black has left a trail of death, murder, instability, corruption and authoritarianism wherever he has tread politically." In other words, a vote for Rob is a vote for Charles Taylor. If he wins, the next thing you know, we'll have death squads roaming the streets! Heather Fong overthrowing the Government and installing herself as Military Junta! And the Mission and the Marina would finally start shooting at each other like we all know they secretly want to do. Cause, again, as the site says: "Don't let Rob Black leave a trail of disaster in The Tenderloin, SOMA and the North Mission like he's done from Zambia to Liberia and down to Paraguay."

We could be wrong here, but could one say that Rob Black, candidate for some city government job, just got Swift Boated. Oh, and seriously, what's up with the crappy Photoshop imagery? My computer illiterate mother could have done some better graphics.
