Mea culpa.
No one is perfect; I usually allow for the exception, but experience has shown that 2002-2006 had a huge influx of Obama/Soros/trolls, in anticipation of Omugabe's election. 2005 being the high point.
Amazingly,a few clever ones still remain.
But there are still a few exceptions.
But that period was also a time of intense anti-war activities funded by the left, which in turn inspired activism on the right. The FR DC Chapter's weekly freeps of anti-war trolls at Walter Reed started in March 2005 and continued until the original base closed in 2012. During those years, the DC Chapter not only freeped many organized anti-war protests in the Federal area of Washington as well, but also coordinated with ProtestWarrior, Gathering of Eagles, Rolling Thunder, Patriot Guard Riders, and many organizations formed to provide support to troops, both active-duty and wounded. DC Chapter published a widely read weekly After Action Report and pinged hundreds of freepers across the country. And freepers in Texas joined with other FR patriots to counter Cindy Sheehan's odious demonstrations against Bush at his Crawford ranch in 2005 -- the live thread drew thousands of replies. There were organized weekly freeps (and AARs) in several states across the country. And of course, the 2004 elections were a draw for people with a positive interest in resisting Kerry's bid for the presidency.
I'm not disputing that trolls entered in; but there were many affirmative reasons for an influx of patriots here at that time. The DC Chapter's Walter Reed were mentioned on Limbaugh and Hannity in 2005, and there were half a dozen regular bloggers in attendance year after year as well.
