Obama is popular on the internet where everyone can be something they are not and nothing is real.

Obama is popular on the internet where everyone can be something they are not and nothing is real.

Just take a look at the popular vote threads here at FR. There is one poster who posts the same pro popular vote comments in literally hundreds of different places on the internet. Its called manufactured consent and its a progressive tactic going back to the days of Woodrow Wilson. It was originated by Edward Bernays.

Basically its a means of creating a perception of greater support for an idea than there really is by having people speak in favor of it in every possible forum. Think "Ellie Light".

Actually, Yahoo lets you post comments on news articles and there seems to be as many Obama haters as there are lovers. You are right, the Internet is filled more with young liberals then conservatives, but the fact is that on a place like Yahoo News where there is that many people trashing Obama should say something. I have known a lot more conservative gentlemen and ladies who refuse to argue on the Internet then I have liberals who would do the same.
