How many of Obama’s or any Democrat’s $25 credit card fundraising comes from overseas sources just like this?

Those similar DemoRat campaign contribution laundering schemes are usually based in Muslim controlled areas, Lebanon, Middle East, Indonesian Islands, North Africa, ect.

If you suspect a troll, look for the portion of a given post that might be boiler plate or a particularly unique turn of phrase. Trolls are lazy, they may well be copy/paste-ing, then adding a few sentences at the beginning and end to make the post more responsive or timely. Pick out a string of 8-10 words (or more), put them in quotes and google/yahoo search. If the results are 15-20 message boards or forums you may have identified a troll.

Trolls also often throw red meat to either political persuasion present to undermine any building consensus they don’t agree with; or, to distract people from another poster who’s argument may be gaining traction.

Trolls will even play the fool and invite attack by multiple other posters, again to distract.

For sleaze, this White House is right down there with the Kremlin in lies, dishonesty, and corruption. As long as political parties do not know right from wrong, they have to be voted out of office. True for individual politicians too. NO VOTE TO ANY POLITICIAN I CATCH LYING. NONE!

The United States has in each instance engaged in warfare pursuant to the rights and duties of all sovereign nations to provide collective defense against unlawful aggression and aggressors by the Kellogg-Briand Pact and the Charter of the United Nations. There is nothing improper or unlawful for the United States to fulfill its treaty obligations and invade another state which is in unlawful breach of the peace and engaging in a criminal war of aggression against other states.

Horse manure, in Serbia, the United States used military force against unarmed civilians in the support of known international criminals, White Slavers, kidnap for ransom, and drug dealing gangs, then they filled the Kosovo province with 'em, based on a false witness Western MSM propaganda campaign.

Additionally, since Libya, the phony UN authorizations for the US to use force are no longer forthcoming and it's not just Russia that's vetoing.

The US lost her moral authority and her ability to use force for justice when she lost the Ronald Reagan Republicans guidance of government, and she lost legal authority when she abandoned the Rule of Law.

“the United States used military force against unarmed civilians in the support of known international criminals”

Let’s examine this BS statement.

The United States has a long and proven history of attempting to go the extra mile to avoid civilian casualties. IMO, too far with their chicken chit Rules of Engagement.

Those unarmed Serbian civilians you point to...Are they the one’s who lines up entire towns of civilians, assassinated them and buried them in mass graves.

And the international criminals you speak of...Are you forgetting the Serbs are the one’s who who committed mass atrocities? Mlosevic, Kradic, etc. etc. Not to mention that it is Serbia who has a history of war atrocities and massacres dating back to 1912.

That would pretty much eliminate all of them.

How come, then, there hasn’t been any scandal, any of these computer-filled rooms on the TV?

Why it's almost like they don't ask tough questions of each other... Kind of like asking Obama if he liked his green tea ice cream...

White House trolls get paid better.

The Russian trolls probably have more personal freedom in their futures...

Usually, if you ask them how much they are getting paid, they finally stop their silly posts, and probably move to another article or change user names.

Now we can ask them if 1,180 Rubles/day buys as much as it used to...

Russian trolls get $36.50 for a full 8-hour day and received a free lunch

Well, that's more than we get responding to Obama's trolls on FR!

An Enterprising Freeper needs to see about “selling themselves out” for trolling duty on supposedly conservative sites that are actually RINO sites, for sweet filthy Soros Lucre, and then donate the money made to Tea Party PACs.

I would see this as a WIN-WIN.

Troll RINO sites for DIM money that is given to Tea party Groups....

That has to be some sort of Internet JuJitsu....

Good synopsis.

It sometimes takes a lot of willpower not to engage trolls who bait, spam, or -play the fool-

LucyT,

Imagine posting in favor of a Russian invasion of a sovereign country

Go look on the Ukraine threads, we've got one or two posting for all he/they is/are worth. I called one of them out.

Yes. Imagine that. People on Free Republic posting in opposition to the Obama-backed coup.

It's time for your lunch break Dimitry.
