That is an interesting hypothesis. I have seen a lot of GOPe supporters among the older accounts, many of which I don’t remember seeing before. I was wondering how they could have been here all this time and still feel that way. I think if you check these accounts and find that they went dark for a long time and then suddenly reappeared to post here, your theory would make a lot of sense. Maybe you should ping Jim Thompson and ask him to check histories on some of them.
I’m sure Jim Has better things to do—but we should be aware that healthy skepticism is a good thing here and that there are Estab types who hate us. You can run little tests yourself—when different personas seem to be “on message”—such as this silly “Ryan can’t lose. Give up now”—check them out yourself, and post what you see. There have been other times that I’ve found the exact same join-up date with these astroturFreepers.
Ah, the Inquisition begins...
By the way, it’s Jim Robinson....I don’t bother researching histories in here, but that mistake alone would lead a conspiracist to mark you as a plant of some sort....sauce for the goose and all that...
