from the article: Does it also pay "trolls" to disrupt civil debate in the comment sections of conservative websites?

Of course they do. They generally don't last long around here.

There was a thread on FR Just before the last election about this. Don’t have any idea how to find it.

discrediting Big Media, the Democrats, and ObamaCare.

How does it discredit them? It really defines them.

My local paper (CourierPress, Evansville, Indiana) has had paid trolls for years. It’s obvious when they have names that include clues like “Kstreet” etc. This is smart, but evil, and it needs to be exposed, destroyed, and buried.

from one main media website I make comments on
it has become clear to me this past year that the
Obama WH has an entire army of media trolls
working every media form and forum possible

they can be detectable and often are

because their indovtrination and training
results in a common form, style and key-word-set
of political speach with the Obama WH policy
position clearly less than one-degree of separation
between its official language and theirs

RE “Does it also pay “trolls” to disrupt civil debate in the comment sections of conservative websites?”

Something about that phrase makes me think of the 2012 GOP primary here LOL

I agree with 99% of what Randy Fardal says here, but there is one sentence that is like fingers nails scraping on a blackboard to me.

“We already know that Democrat activists illegally censor constitutionally protected free speech by pulling fire alarms when conservatives speak on college campuses; are they using similar stunts on the internet?”

One more time.
Only government(s) can CENSOR.
These little pukes can illegally disrupt the speeches, but they cannot censor.

Secondly, I work for an organization that pays me quarterly to posts [sic] the political stuff as "advocacy" (so it's kind of my job).

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

If you go to the Healthcare.gov Facebook page, you can tell who the paid trolls are. But they're out-numbered 1000-1.

The answer is a resounding Yes.

I know that Doug Hagmann and CanadaFreePress are persona non grata here, but his article in January outlined the entire concept of operations.

The "Cyber Warriors For Obama" project kicked off in January, with funding directly from the Odinga campaign coffers. They have social media mapped, infiltrated, and compromised.

This is just the beginning.

Absolutely.
Fortunately, there are way too many veteran freepers for them to last too long here. They get boxed in and sniffed out pretty quickly. And remember, they also use a version of the "Diamond Technique" here and on other sites, where two or more trolls "agree" with each other and actually manage to shout down the unsuspecting.

Bottom line: Veteran freepers, do not be bashful about calling out the scumbags. And the "sign up" date, while being helpful, is not always a telltale sign. Some trolls signed up long, long ago.

I myself signed up on Democrat Underground when it first started just so nobody else there would take my handle. A few years later I went back to check it out (I think for Schadenfreude purposes), laughed at the big topic of the day (have no recollection what it was) and posted three posts before I got "tombstoned". One poster there said, "Wow. You signed up five years ago just to get thrown out now?" Of course, I didn't bother to hide my dsitain for those animals.

Instant Celebrity Obamacare Applicant Turns Out To Be OFA Volunteer, President Of “Young Democrats” Group… Update: Chad Thinks He Texts With Jay Carney

 

By Weasel Zippers

Update to this story.

Oopsie, turns out that lucky guy Chad’s social media info reveals he “volunteers” for Obama’s “Organizing For America” , he’s President of “Walker County Young Democrats”, and his Facebook says he is paid to “promote for an advocacy group”, a comment he now says was a “joke”.
