I found three Freepers (in the last 24 hours that prior to a few days ago (10 days at the most) have not been active in a very long time...... At least a year and a half or more. The other two Freepers have no posts for 7 years and 3 years.
Now prior to that time gap all would have maybe 1 or 2 posts a years several years ago. Yet in the last few days they are posting a lot. I find that very odd?
I think these accounts have been hijacked by the opposition?
For those that are wondering what is an Internet Troll? Trolls, post a deliberately provocative message or messages to a newsgroup or message boards/threads with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. This is done primarily by opposition groups.
I'm sure someone could figure out WHO is doing this. We just need to do a trace route on the account to see where it's coming from.
Here are some articles about it for anyone that does not know about this. Watch your 6 Freepers.

“They post to change the subject, to discourage people, and to incite violence. Or just embarrass us about being conservative.”

But if a “newbie” like me points such a thing out, we are called “Concern-trolls”, or worse....
Oh No Mr Bill!
You are a poet and don’t know it but your face shows it........ It’s a longfellow!
Oh sorry.....I thought you were John Kerry.
As far as the type of trolls I was talking about, that type's would be most likely paid professionals... the kind of people George Soros or Hillary's war room would hire.
Sociopaths lack the organization and discipline necessary to stay with something like this... well, unless they're being paid.
If there's a ‘bad’ pattern to the replies Jim will spot and deal with it - I have faith in his abilities...
Its also the type of strategery that could be used to get a site compromised and shut down in the interest of “net neutrality” which will undoubtedly ban “hate speech”
once the dunces that voted for it get to read it
Good catch Timber... This next Presidential election's important - we don't need trolls messing with it.
LOL!
OK, that’s a keeper
Can’t believe I just read all 140 posts...and was entertained. It’ s a mystery comedy. You guys and gals are so funny. But who done it?
How? Unless they have access to the computer that originated the account, how do they use or modify it?
Yeah, I know...you'd tell me, but then you'd have to kill me.
Who’s safe from risk of identity theft? No one
I have read all 149 posts, and from what I can tell, while the concern is a good one, you have your facts completely wrong.
It reminds me of GW alarmists who are concerned about ‘polluting’ the atmosphere, but believe the CO2 is a pollutant and the cause of all our problems.
Do you see the error of your ways yet, my friend ?
I am John Kerry, I just hijacked Robert DeLongs’ account. What gave it away? Was it my admitting to being the Slime who oozes along on your living room floor from your TV?
LOLOLOL
Sorry about pinging you in the previous post. : )
Gotta go take a shower now, tell me what happened when I get back.
