BENARKAH INI???

Misjudgement in hiring such unpleasant ’attack dogs’?

Caleb Howe - insulter of Islam and part of the right-wing 'professional' blogging network that Najib and Taib have seen fit to hire with Malaysian taxpayers' money
The majority of people in Sarawak are not Muslim.  However, few would dream of engaging in such an unpleasant and offensive attack on matters held sacred to fellow citizens.  So, it seems doubly ill-judged that Taib, who is indeed Muslim, would engage the services of an outfit that tolerates such sordid language and behaviour.
Najib Razak, the Malaysian PM, who has also hired the same blogging network is surely also guilty of the same terrible misjudgement?  He poses as a great protector of his own Muslim religion, yet he continues to be associated with a team of Americans who count this man as one of their own.
Caleb Howe is closely linked to Josh Trevino, the right-wing blogger behind the American ‘Red State’ and ‘New Ledger’ blogs and also a PR company called Rogue Strategic Services, who has been engaged by BN leaders, including Badawi, Najib and now Taib Mahmud to create ‘positive publicity’ on their behalf.
Sarawak Report has already exposed how this network of websites has been engaged by Najib and also Taib to promote them with favourable articles in their blogs in the US and back in Malaysia to give the impression that they have positive international endorsement.

Working with Josh Trevino as 'curator' of the Malaysia Matters Twitter Page
Caleb Howe, who is a regular contributor to Trevino’s flagship ‘Red State’ website, also curates a Twitter Page called Malaysia Matters, clearly linked to the Malaysia Matters website, one of Trevino’s projects to promote BN leaders.
The Malaysia Matters  website (which has just been re-launched) was started in 2008 by Josh Trevino and a colleague Jerome Armstrong. 
Armstrong, who is also a professional ‘blogger for hire’, has made no secret of the fact that the project was commissioned by the Malaysian Government – he lists them as a client on the  website of his company WebStrong
