But who knew that some of our FR comrades look like this:
"Members of an Internet support community called Medvedev's Girls attend a meeting with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in the Kremlin on November 9, 2011.

Whenever I write about homophobia in Russia, several readers invariably leave comments defending the country's approach to gay rights...
Elsewhere, like when my articles about opposition figures are translated and posted on Russian news sites, the comments get downright personal and anti-Semitic...
It's of course impossible to tell whose vitriol is genuine and whose is being bankrolled, but at least some anti-Western comments appear to come from staffers the Russian government pays to sit in a room, surf the Internet, and leave sometimes hundreds of postings a day that criticize the country's opposition and promote Kremlin-backed policymakers....

I also support the Russian position on homosexuals and their rights. And any Freeper who is here supporting that position is a great American and not wishy washy
Locally they are known as "Organizing for Action"
Your opinion is fine, but you are missing the point of the article and my post.
Is it too late to surrender?
No I get your point, are you a paid pro-fag lobbist?
There are plenty of leftist freepers, anti-Palin freepers all getting paid.
That you are making it sound bad means what?
America's drop was attributed to, as one might expect, the PRISM/NSA revelations. But interestingly, on Freedom House's overall rank, the U.S. still places fourth, just under Germany but above Australia and France. It'll be interesting to see if our ranking slips further in the case of future revelations about online data monitoring.
Anybody here buying that? I'm not.
No, I am not being paid to post on FR and I’m not pro-fag. By the way, how much have you donated to Free Republic this quarter?
What I donate has nothing to do with my beliefs or my positions on issues. So you decide to attack me and divert attention from the real issue, that you support the pro-homosexual agenda and that is what your posts implies. So are you a homosexual, how much do you donate to pro-homosexual groups?
If you had bothered to read beyond the first sentence of the article, you would have realized that it’s not about homosexuality.
Paid trolls are nothing new under the sun, the left invented the idea, along with astroturf (fake grassroots), ACORN, and other movements purporting to be “populist” which are driven by leftist activists using apathetic or uninformed bystanders as their tools.
As for Russia’s stance on sodomites-Free Republic is anti-sodomite agenda, and more power to Russia in this instance for not caving to their pressure when the whole West is falling like dominoes to the sodomite agenda. I don’t have to love everything Russia does to agree with their anti-sodomite stance.
They are in Moscow. Why are their shirts in English, hmmmm?
Bingo! And NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR and AP.
>>>I also support the Russian position on homosexuals and their rights. And any Freeper who is here supporting that position is a great American and not wishy washy<<<
Might be a Russian spy! /s
Looks like an author of this article took notes from 1930s Stalinist Pravda editorial - “If you are pushing for free enterprise and religious freedom you are an American spy so GTFO and go to gulag”.
“Come and keep your comrade warm.”
I went home with the waitress, the way I always do
How was I to know, she was with the Russians, too?
I was gambling in Havana, I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money, dad, get me out of this
I haven’t checked your posts lately, but you’re supporting Putin’s attack on Ukraine, right?
“some anti-Western comments appear to come from staffers the Russian government pays to sit in a room, surf the Internet, and leave sometimes hundreds of postings a day that criticize”
I take it that this reporter has never heard of Obama-For-America, SEIU, etc?
It’s called “Strategic Internet Manipulation”, or the more popular “Opinion Engineering”, and there are dozens of firms that do this for leftist political operations in America.
That’s why millions of Twitter and Facebook handles are fakes, run by bots or sometimes even humans, as well as programmed forum responses.
What originally started as the Soros pay-per-posting program to elect John Kerry has morphed into a science, now. It is even marketed to corporations as a way to increase public opinion.
In China, they call this the “an Internet Water Army”.
Xinhua News Agency reported on a new Water Army title, “zombies”, who are paid followers of Sina Weibo microblogs, and “can be bought and sold online for as little as 4 yuan (63 cents) a thousand.”
