WASHINGTON, (christiansunite.com) -- Today leaders of the Susan B. Anthony List responded to the recent discovery of a plot by liberal internet activists to attack www.teamsarah.org , a community dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process:
"Team Sarah recently uncovered a plot by liberal activists to frame our community for harboring hate speech and bigotry," said Emily Buchanan, Executive Director of the Susan B. Anthony List and Team Sarah Site Administrator. "Liberal extremists at www.somethingawful.com concocted a plot to join Team Sarah under false pretenses and intentionally provoke our members by posting incendiary and bigoted remarks that violated our terms of use."
Susan B. Anthony List President and Team Sarah Co-Founder Marjorie Dannenfelser offered the following statement:
"Two weeks ago, the Huffington Post published a story criticizing Team Sarah for the supposed racist behavior of its membership - yet had they exercised even the most basic of fact- checking, we could have informed them of the recent escalation in bigoted postings from liberal impostors, not from our bona fide membership."
"Clearly Governor Sarah Palin's influence has irked the Left. Here we are months after the election, and liberal extremists are still doing all they can to tear her down. Fortunately the truth will prevail. Team Sarah will continue to grow and its membership will continue to advance the values represented by the trailblazing governor."
The coordinated attack by liberal bloggers was discovered on Friday, January 2, 2009. The Weekly Standard covered the incident on January 7, 2009. Over ninety impostors were banned from www.teamsarah.org last weekend after bona fide Team Sarah members reported violations to community moderators. Interlopers continue to be banned daily.
One of the attackers explained their goal: "What I hope is that the fake posters eventually number the actual posters so it would be impossible to tell who is real and who is fake."
After a cease and desist letter was sent by Team Sarah to the site administrator of www.somethingawful.com on Friday January 2, 2009, the offending forum was removed from the website, but new forums have since been posted. Attacks have continued, most recently including today's planned 2:00A.M. mass posting of pornography photos in Team Sarah forums.
Team Sarah is a coalition of women dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process. Its political networking website, www.teamsarah.org , has grown to over 60,000 activists in the last four months. Co-Founders of Team Sarah include Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List, and Jane Abraham, the organization's General Chairman.
Now that we’ve elected a BLACK President, next time around let’s elect a woman.
Our nation just elected an inexperienced liberal legislator without any executive experience and a host of bad ideas and no accomplishments to the Presidency.
Next time around lets elect an experienced executive with conservative ideas and conservative accomplishments to the Presidency (in other words “Go Gov. Sarah Palin!”).
Bump.
Excellent idea! And, by the way, all of this simply proves one thing and that thing is that the political left is very frightened of Sarah Palin just as they are frightened of anything good and decent in this country.
From your lips to G-d’s ears. Can’t wait to vote for Sarah (or Bobby, either one would be fine) and see the one-term marxist exit the stage.
Old news, and moreover, trying to work with the site’s owners and moderators is like driving your head into a brick wall. Don’t bother.
TS site is up and running. There is a Freepers group already established. Everyone on FR is encouraged to join. TS needs to grow, and keep growing.
I’m really wondering if we will be able to overcome the fraud of ACORN. At the very least they and NPR need to be off the public dole but we know that won’t happen.
The best way is to vote for both---Jindal/Palin. As much as I like Sarah, I think she needs a bit of seasoning for the presidency. Bobby can, I think, handle it already. With a stint as VP, Sarah would then be a shoo-in for the presidency. And the combo simply reeks of competence and charisma.
There are two ways the GOP to look at the infiltration by the trolls: that Sarah is so damaged by the animosity directed towards her that she is unelectable or that she attracts this kind of attention because she is dangerous to Obama’s hopes of being re-elected in 2012. You decide, but I think you know which way I’m leaning.
She’s going to determine the outcome of that analysis by her counter-punching and coalition building over the next two years or so.
I’ve already joined. They need our support, so I encourage anyone who can to go and join up.
I think the fact that the attacks are continuing with such frequency and intensity says that the Obamatrons and the Republican “beltway bandits” are both scared spitless of her popularity.
Can you send me a link to the group? Thanks!
You don’t have to send the link - I found it. Thanks for letting me know.
