Peter Rost exposed the identity of the heckler - known as a "troll" in blogging parlance

Oh common, its a common tactic: pose as a troll to stir things up and make the other side look like loud, obnoxious idiots.

I never thought I'd be reading the Opus of a leftist American blogger in the online version of a British leftist newspaper.

It is the Huffington Post so it is not surprising that they would act in a less than ethical way. They have a history. They faked a blog by George Clooney by stringing together some comments he had made at different times.

Why would Dr. Rost go back to blogging at Huffington Post after realizing that nobody on the editorial staff was going to back him. They all came to the defense of the troll!!

I didn't hear about the Clooney blog incident before this article either. These left wing blogs are nothing but a sham!
