were against Obama after he won the nomination. As can be seen, Johnson was NEVER really a Clinton supporter. He was a right winger. He tried to establish that identity so he could then spread lies against Obama and to try to divide some Democrats. The goal obviously was that they should vote for McCain or not vote.

Minus a hostile foreign power, it can be seen as an precursor of some of the "Bernie Bros" spreading lies on social media to harm Clinton in 2016.
