Andre Walker Owned

Wow.

Atlanta Progressive News just completely destroyed Andre Walker, the author of Georgia Politics Unfiltered. Now while I don't know anyone who really takes Andre seriously anymore, its still amusing to see him get outed as a complete operative and unfair source.

The article deserves quoting at length:
Political blogger Andre Walker wrote dozens of blog items in favor of US Rep. David Scott (D-GA) this year but did not disclose to readers he was on Scott’s payroll.

"He [Walker] long ago made himself a little unpopular in the progressive world by blogging at Peach Pundit and working for people and not disclosing it," Juliana Illari, blogger at Blog for Democracy, told APN. "He was working for Vernon at one point."

No one is more shocked to learn Walker is being paid by Scott than Scott’s opponent, former State Sen. Donzella James; Andre used to volunteer for James.

Now, James is wondering whether Walker was an undercover operative for Scott.

"Someone told me before I hired him, do not allow him in your office, he is with David Scott. They told me he had campaigned in the first campaign for Scott," James said.


Andre has really played all allegations against him over the years as if he is the victim. Its good to see proof that his readers are the real victims of an opportunist and ego-driven blogger.
