Decisive action against Obama's left-wing 'trolls'
WND ^ | November 25, 2012 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 11/26/2012 8:14:10 AM PST by detective

WND Internet forum moderators have conducted extensive studies of leftist, pro-Obama “trolls” who post misinformation.

In the process, the moderators have blocked from WND forums participants who post abusive language aimed at angering or otherwise insulting forum members, WND authors, management and staff.

Trolls appear to perform a “disinformation” function typical of counter-intelligence efforts by intelligence agencies to confuse political enemies and refute or deflect opposing political views that are less susceptible to refutation by more traditional methods of debate and argumentation.

"My democrat sister in Livonia said that Romney door knockers came to her house at least 4 different times. She told them she was an idiot (democrat)"

Stealing that! Its really good.

The shrieking insultomonkies that told the rest of us we were ignorant savages for not supporting him in the primaries were tehsame.
Heck, they told us they didn’t need conservatives at all.
[So why were they trying to bully us into voting for him then?]

Same behavior in support of Guiliani, same behavior in support of Romney.
Only this time around, Romney had been preordained by the RNC to be the candidate.
Guiliani didn’t have any such ‘dispensation’ at the time.

I suspect they may dust him off for 2016.
The RNC seems to want to commit suicide by RINOcracy.

Oh I doubt you are getting paid to chase new posters away and to discourage postings of important threads about lowlifes in mobs attacking innocent individuals.

It’s more of a power trip IMO.

But a bit too PC for a cutting edge website like Free Republic.

I have seen people use name calling, personal attacks and no logic or reason to their conversation

Oh well if that is all it takes I could be raking in the money.

Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: "A horrible person." We weren't even testing for that.

Don't let that horrible-person thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep.

Most people emerge from suspension terribly undernourished. I want to congratulate you on beating the odds and somehow managing to pack on a few pounds.

As an impartial collaboration facilitator, it would be unfair of me to name my favorite member of your team. However, it's perfectly fair to hint at it in a way that my least favorite probably isn't smart enough to understand. Rhymeswithglue. Orange, you are doing very well. All right, so that last test was seriously disappointing.

Apparently, being civil isn't motivating you, so let's try it her way, all right, fatty? Adopted... fatty! Fatty, fatty no parents?

I feel awful about that surprise. Tell you what, let's give your parents a call right now. [phone dialing and ringing; in a stranger, lower voice] The birth parents you are trying to reach do not love you. Please hang up. [Dial tone; normal voice] Oh, that's sad. But impressive. Maybe they worked at the phone company.

You look ugly in that jumpsuit. That's not my opinion; it's right here on your fact sheet. They said on everyone else it looked fine, but on you, it looked hideous. But still what does an old engineer know about fashion? Oh, wait, it's a she. Still, what does she know about - oh, wait. She has a medical degree. In fashion. From France.

Its a progressive tactic called “Manufactured consent”. Basically to make you feel wildly outnumbered by posting all over the place.

Which in turn is a greatly expanded and enhanced variation of the old Communist "Diamond Tactic" of turning over crowds.

They all stem from the same period of American history and almost exclusively from Edward Bernays. I’ve done a fairly extensive study of the tactics and I’m not afraid to expose them which is really the best defense against it.

We used to have a guy showing up at township meetings to complain about all the “fracking” going on in the area and he wanted to stop it. He seemed like an intelligent guy and should know better than to confuse fracking with injection wells.

I did some digging on the guy and found that he’s an attorney who doesn’t even live in this county and specializes in zoning law and was on retainer for the Raisin Vally land trust. I handed off the info to a couple of the township council members who took turns exposing and discrediting him in the public meeting.

He was petty shocked that us ignernt hillbillies were capable of using them there fancy addin machines called computers. He never came back.

I’ve seen lots and lots, the really crude ones seem to eventually get banned, but others who are a bit more subtle (but obvious if you look at more than two comments of theirs) still stink up the place.

Actually some may not be hirelings but just volunteers.
