Andrew Breitbart of Breitbart.com and The Drudge Report nailed the abusive Obama internet trolls and goons today in his article at The Washington Times.
Leftist trolls have been vandalizing the conservative blogosphere since conservatives started blogging but actually coordinated their attacks during the last election cycle. This same internet goon squad has persisted past Election Day. The Other McCain pointed out that in January, they were even caught trying to plant "hate" memes at Team Sarah in an effort to discredit Palin. And, of course they are willing to lie and perform deceptive acts all in the pursuit of victory and power. This was a terrific article:
Uninvited Democratic activists are on a mission to demoralize the enemy - us. They want to ensure that President Obama is not subject to the same coordinated, facts-be-damned, multimedia takedown they employed over eight long years to destroy the presidency - and the humanity - of George W. Bush.
Political leftists play for keeps. They are willing to lie, perform deceptive acts in a coordinated fashion and do so in a wicked way - all in the pursuit of victory. Moral relativism is alive and well in the land of Hope and Change and its Web-savvy youth brigade expresses its "idealism" in a most cynical fashion.
The ends justify the means for them - now more than ever...
So now that the right is vanquished and thoroughly out of power, why doesn't it learn from its conquerors and employ similar tactics?
The answer is obvious. The right, for the most part, embraces basic Judeo-Christian ideals and would not promote nor defend the propaganda techniques that were perfected in godless communist and socialist regimes. The current political and media environment crafted by supposedly idealistic Mr. Obama resembles Hugo Chavez's Venezuela more than John F. Kennedy's America.
The Huffington Post, Daily Kos and other left-leaning sites benefit from the right's belief that there are rules and decorum in political debate and civic engagement. Of course, every now and then, a curious right-winger will go in and engage in discussion at a left-wing site, but rarely under purely disingenuous and mass coordinated means.
David Brock, John Podesta, am I missing something?
...The American right is in a heap of trouble in a media age that doesn't shun the goons and liars that have poisoned the political process and won the American presidency by breaking the rules of fair play. It is time to fight back, but it won't be easy. The enemy is willing to do and say anything in order to win.
What say you, trolls?
“We’d like to see a primary challenge.”
For what? He’s not running again for POTUS, and you aren’t in AZ, so what’s the “we”?
Impy: “We’d like to see a primary challenge (to McCain).”
Melinda: “For what?”
FOR HIS SENATE SEAT WHICH IS HE RUNNING FOR AGAIN in 2010. How many times must you be told that? Jeez.
Melinda: “you aren’t in AZ”
So what?
Melinda: “so what’s the “we”?”
CONSERVATIVES Melinda. Just like we also want Pat Toomey to beat Arlen Specter in PA.
LOL. Thanks for the recap!
Three Senate races have caught my interest so far.
1. Somebody/Anybody/SomeonePLEASE(Conservative R) vs. McCain(RINO)
2. Toomey (Conservative R) v. Specter(RINO) ... to undo the injustice done by RINOs in the last primary
3. Chuck Devore(Conservative R) v. RINO-to-be-foisted-on-electorate-by-CAGOP ...and then to once and for all defeat Boxer!
