The creator of an Orwellian ad against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., shown on YouTube worked for a digital consulting firm with ties to rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
Philip de Vellis, a strategist with Blue State Digital, acknowledged he created the video, which portrayed Clinton as a Big Brother figure and urged support for Obama's presidential campaign. De Vellis, 33, said he resigned from the firm Wednesday.
Blue State designed Obama's Web site, and one of the firm's founding members, Joe Rospars, took a leave to work as Obama's director of new media.
DeVellis said he produced the ad outside of work and that neither Blue State nor the Obama campaign was aware of his role in the ad.
