EXCLUSIVE: Pro-Trump Propaganda Posing as 'News' Sites Originate from Macedonia

The Washington Examiner ^ | 07 April 2016 | -staff-

[Reaganite Republican]

Pro-Trump 'news' websites have flooded the internet with demonstrably false propaganda in the last few months. These phony reports are presumably designed to sway undecided voters toward presidential candidate Donald Trump, while relentlessly slandering his opponent Senator Ted Cruz.

In the wake of the Wisconsin primary, for example, supporters of Donald Trump took to social media posting what appeared to be valid news reports making fraudulent claims that electronic voting machines in Wisconsin were switching from Donald Trump to Ted Cruz...

The article is a joke. I’m laughing while reading it.

[Hostage]

Conservatives have run away from the ‘friends’ that Cruz has brought to the dance.

[mkjessup]

While Jim might make “Official Endorsements” for Ted and Donald, he makes it clear that he personally is pro-Trump. Being a Cruzer around here is becoming a risky business.

You sound like you need a safe space.

Also, it’s common FR courtesy to ping a FReeper, when you’re including them in your post/conversation. (mk and JimRob)

Thank you Jane, but I don't expect any 'courtesy' out of the likes of R2nd, they're still recovering from their spanking last night for being a 'TAGLINE NANNY'(full credit to Onyx), which is why we called the WAMBULANCE:



Now if R2nd wants a really nifty tagline quoting our Esteemed Founder, here's one I'm sure he'll savor:

Cruz - what a colossal and tragic disappointment. "Cruz is lozin' it" - JimRob (exact quote)

I have seen several posted in Conservative/GOP FB groups by the same folks who happen to be brand new to FB and their only friends are other people who only post from Trump propaganda sites.

Engaging in discussion or debate is futile, which is exactly the opposite for supporters of almost every other candidate during the past year. I’m sure there are plenty of legitimate Trump supporters, but my online experience seems to indicate a fairly organized astroturf effort.

There are certainly many others:

All parties involved had a long conversation yesterday. No need to rehash.

[Jane Long]

Ah....so why did you rehash...by even mentioning, in the first place??? And then not pinging those you were ‘rehashing’ the issue about?

SMH

[wiggen]

that particular poster is especially egregious.

[angelcindy]

you cruz you lose

[Jane Long]

Makes perfect sense....thanks for the background info.

[Responsibility2nd]

No need for your wahmbulance. I recognized when you called in your FReepathon queens yesterday to back you up with insults and attacks, that any further points I made were - well - pointless.

[Bringbackthedraft]

I really expected FR to be 60% in the Cruz camp... where are the conservatives?........................... I’m asking myself the same question. Remember when Rick Santorum and even Kasich were heroes? I was for Cruz, but now I lean towards Trump. Who is Cruz going to get out there to vote for him? My guess is the extreme right. That alone will not win the election. You need to pull votes from Hillary, so forget the cries of those who hate Trump for his immigration stand, they are the ones who are not here legally for the most part. They are more protestor than voter. Trump has the ability to chip away at Hillary’s support, IMO Cruz and Kasich do not. A Candidate can not be everything to everyone, being 100% Conservative is not going to draw everyone. There are too many middle roaders out there, they are the ones you have to draw be they Independents or dissatisfied Democrats and Republicans. The goal is to stop the Coronation of the Queen and maybe clean out the corruption in politics. A president doesn’t need to be a career politician. We had a good one back in the mid 50’s who wasn’t a career politician. (An exception to the rule??) Beware career politicians, they belong to a special club and they take care of each other regardless of how they present themselves to the public.

No need for your wahmbulance. I recognized when you called in your FReepathon queens yesterday to back you up with insults and attacks, that any further points I made were - well - pointless.

It's called a *ping* list. FReepers who have asked to be pinged to various threads, comments and posts.

Speaking of your new tagline...

Come to where America is ... come to TRUMP COUNTRY.

[PJBankard]

LOL. Isn’t this the 3rd of 4th FReeper that has questioned you pinging your list and in the same context of calling in your thugs/queens/etc. to back up your insults. I wonder if they FReepmail each other their cheesy come-backs.

[mkjessup]

You raise legitimate points. And as difficult as it may be for other posters to believe, I (along with my best FR brother StephenJohnBanker) originally supported Cruz before Trump got into the race.

However as time went on, cracks began to appear in what was initially a rock solid conservative appearance, and Cruz began to make poor calls in judgment (bringing on that lunatic Glenn Beck was a major error), and turning his rallies into something approaching an evangelistic tent-revival show might have thrilled the little old ladies in tennis shoes carrying Bibles, but that is NOT going to bring him crossover votes from the secular 'not-so-religious' crowd in a general election contest.

Cruz will be painted first as a religious extremist by the 'RATS, and second he'll be smeared as a far right political extremist, and that tactic has already been unleashed at a low level online, they're drawing parallels between Cruz and Senator Joe McCarthy, and while I (like the majority of FReepers I believe) think Joe McCarthy is an absolute American patriot, I doubt that in this day and age (after having his name improperly attached to the worst political behavior), that he could get elected to ANY office, and that is what awaits Cruz IF he somehow gains the GOP nomination (something I doubt is going to happen), here is the picture the 'RATS area already pushing:



The facts are, Cruz IS a career politician and the voting public wants an outsider, not an insider and Cruz has proven that is exactly what he is.

[JayGalt]

We are voting for Trump.

Agree. Things are not always what they may seem. Who knows who actually set these up?

Data miners?

[dforest]

You know it could be since this is Greece, many Greeks, Macedonians would like a Trump win considering they are under seige by Muslim terrorists, er, I mean Muslim refugees who pillage and rape citizens.

Many right wing Europeans against Muslim occupation are liking Trump right now.
