Last week was TechCrunch 50. A gathering of 50 invite only start-up Tech companies seeking funding, press and customers. One of the invited presenters was Farhad Mohit, founder of BizRate.com and ShopZilla.com , presenting as Co-Founder and CEO for a new site known as 'DotSpots.com'.

Mr. Mohit began his presentation by pointing out that he was a Barak Obama fan. He then showed how his new website would allow liberal socialist to post materials supporting Barak Obama to the GOP website.

Using a typical liberal-socialist style macbook Mr. Mohit walked attendees through the steps to post a youtube video exclaiming how much 'fun' an african-american couple had at the DNC to the GOP USA website. Saying as the page loaded "This is the GOP, a site that can definitely use our insight in this case... and a site that we would have never thought of visiting or writing a comment to. Now that's powerful."

He did this by adding the video in question to an AP article he disagreed with posted on the San Francisco Chonicle's website. Mr. Mohit then continued on to 'The Daily Kos' a highly socialist liberal blog which has been instrumental in rallying the younger techno-liberals behind the obamamessiah and the vague "change" mantra. While at the Daily Kos he credited their blog posting as news discrediting the AP article, even though the AP is considered by many to be highly liberal. The article written exclaimed in its title "Analysis: Obama Spares Details, Keeps Up Attacks".

Of course the AP-syndicated article was only wrong about the length of the speech by Obama, however, the presenter used that little bit of information to claim the whole article was baseless and that most likely the writer "had an axe to grind". Obama has been accused by the GOP and independents of not having well laid out policies and using vague langauge to mask this.

Mr. Mohit ended his presentation by adding the YouTube video and Daily Kos blog link to the San Francisco Chonicle's website. Tagging it with a dot in the article in question. He then was able to pull up a window showing 'semantically annotated' related content where the video and link was also posted. That is when he took the little jab at the GOP and forced the video link onto their website.

According to his presentation a website would need 'one line of code' installed to make the program work which means that, at least for the purposes of this presentation and the beta test, the GOP USA agreed to help Mr. Mohit and he replied with a hit below the belt showing socialist liberals how to force Pro-Obama content onto the GOP website. That or he used their copyrighted works, saved the page locally and reuploaded it elsewhere so he could add the code.

The DotSpots website claims they want to influence change for the 'good'. One could surmise that from their CEO's presentation their view of good is liberal socialism. Clearly he left the GOP outside of that realm while he was looking for funding.

I found the presentation in complete bad taste, to use such a time to grandstand your political positions is audacious. As his presentation ended it was greeted with lackluster, sporadic clapping.
