The Definition of a "Concern Troll" - The Most Important Thread of the Day (Vanity, but true)

[JulieRNR21]

Remember this on November 2nd The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009,-- it was actually January 3rd 2007.The day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives & Senate, the start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. "For those of you who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault," think about this: January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress: At the time: The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77� The GDP for the previous quarter was up 35% The Unemployment rate was 4.6% George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION! Remember the day. January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES! THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP growth, and 4.6% Unemployment to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOS! (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie- starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA & the Democratic Congress So when some idiot tries to blame Bush REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007 THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER! Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving.

Fair enough. Thanks for explaining.

In keeping with this thread though - I was a bit concerned.

Me, I thought Rove was covering his ***, for the sake of his own livelihood, no doubt about it.

Christine has now raised around 2 million, and he was talking about all the smart moves she’s made, the experts she’s hired. I almost got the feeling he’d like to be on her payroll. I believe Christine is smarter than that.

You see the same once ALL the time popping up on NBC threads, never fails aka SPs!!!

[MNJohnnie]

It is good to see that there are still a few folks on this forum who are capable of thinking for themselves

We have to since you demonstrate every day a clear inability to think at all.

[MortMan]

That’s the “deeply saddened” miniature troll.

[Danae]

there is also the Birther Concern Troll.

This is a troll who continues to mock and or make light of serious constitutional issues which, if found to be correct, would rock our government and country to the very core. In a number of different ways.

Because this issue is so serious, it deserves investigation by SERIOUS people in order to disprove it. Or if it is proven correct to ADDRESS it rather than ignore it.

Ignoring it means we might not have a constitutional Government. Possibly every law, treaty, and order Obama has signed is legally invalid and void. This simple sounding uncertainty is something the Birther Concern Troll will 100% of the time ignore commenting on. Instead they always focus on irrelevant details, and or resort back to mocking again.

[Slings and Arrows]

Of course! I’me very concerned.

Thanks for the ping.

[Smokin' Joe]

Wait a minute.

Are concern trolls "electable"?

Are they too "extreme"?

Will they alienate the more moderate voters?

Besides no one has heard of them, they don't get much media attention, and their hairline just doesn't look presidential, not to mention their waistline.

Et fricking cetera.

I don't think we've ever seen any of those around here, nope, not us. (/s, as if...)

Lots of my friends are “concern” trolls on DU and KOS. Once you get your 1000 posts it’s fairly easy. I love to watch them push their buttons. I need to learn to be a “concern” troll. I always get zotted over there, usually within a week.

[mojitojoe]

The longer they have been on FR the easier it to spot a “concern” troll. Just take some time and read ALL of their past posts. They cannot post for years, or even months without outing themselves. They bank on the fact that people will be too lazy to go through all of their past posts. If you are a fast reader it doesn’t take that long.

[GreenvillePatriot]

Hmmm, that is one way to label somone with a broad brush when they don’t think O’Donnell is the next coming. I am all for the Tea Party. I have been to rallies. Donated hard earned money. I just don’t think O’Donnell is what we should be putting out there as our candidate.

If people actually have concerns they are labeled a troll? You do realize that this is our country you are talking about, right? It isn’t some TV show: Americas Got Tea Partiers. Shouldn’t we want to get the best person for the job in there? Someone who has the knowledge and understanding to actually govern? Can you explain to me O’Donnell’s platform and what she plans on bringing to the table?

Can we call you dismissive troll? If any one doesn’t toe your line they are automatically dismissed and called a troll or RINO. I really think Reagan would have been called a RINO by some of you.

[READINABLUESTATE]

“Wow, there’s a name for that? I’ve been doing it on DU for years.”

You too? LOL!

[GOPJ]

Freepers always wonder if others are trolls. If we weren’t doubters in the first place, we wouldn’t be here...

[GOPJ]

Dem journalists ( MSM types ) do this routine too - they are 'oh so concerned' about mistakes the GOP might make - all the while they hate us so much they can't see straight. How stupid to they think we are?

If members of the MSM REALLY thought we were self destructing over something they would quietly get out of the way. Someone needs to tell them to keep their phony concern or give their fake tears to dems in trouble. We don't believe them. We're onto the game.

[ansel12]

You do it all the time. All of your posts are the same thing backing your opinion.

You clearly do not know what a concern troll is. A concern troll is not someone posting an opinion, it is someone first lying to conceal their motives, and then posting in a way that is deliberately, purposely, destructive to the candidate the that they claim to actually support. It is a concealed, cowardly form of deliberate attack which is a huge turn off to honest freepers.

" I love x and I am his biggest fan, and can't wait to vote for him in the election, but I am concerned about the claims about him and his college days as a male hooker though-- oh you didn't hear about that?"

"I love x and hope he wins but, etc, etc, etc."

When someone does that in a way that raises your antennae, and then you check his posting history and see that he has been doing that on thread after thread, then you have caught a phony poster that is attacking the subject and trying to camouflage the attack as the concerns of a supporter, it is a way to attack a popular conservative here without drawing heat, unless someone catches on and outs you. It is a cowardly way of lying.

[dforest]

You cannot separate yourself from what and who you are. You prove you have an agenda daily and you attack anyone, even if it the first time they express an opinion that does not agree 100% with you as a concern troll.

It is a common occurrence. I will be honest and cut to the chase, if anyone expresses that they would like to see the field of 2012 candidates before they support Palin or anyone else, they are a troll or a Mittbot or even from DU. There is nobody around here that is dumb enough to think that the attacks on them are sincere or reasonable. Truth is, most of the people here will end up supporting the candidate from our side that opposes Obama. If that is Palin, so be it, she will have people behind her. If not, I guarantee it, she will support whoever that is also. So what is the damn problem at this point?

[Matchett-PI]

EGGSACKLY! bttt

[ansel12]

You seem determined to avoid the thread topic which is “concern trolls” and insist on talking about yourself and some slight that you feel here at FR. I’m not interested, I like the “concern troll” topic, I have outed a few, and seen a few get the zot.

Concern trolls are a real category of troll, it is one the most common paths that short lived trolls make.
