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?
Harass a liberal as often as one can.
DumpsterUnderground and Daily PsyKosis immediately ban anyone posting any opinion they don’t like and then go after those people anywhere they appear on the web. We should follow suit.
Waiting for the “we have to be better than liberals, we have to be polite, classy, above all” surrender contingent.
These online Rat operatives are also targeting Governor Palin on a daily basis. Just check any of the comments sections of any news story about her at both big and small news sites and you will find the most hated-filled, venomous, and despicable invective against her and her family that I’ve ever seen in modern U.S. politics.
Problem is, Steve, that these new trools are well-organized, well-funded, and well-coordinated. They’re professionals. We have nothing like them with which to fight back, other than the truth.
I suspect several posters here on FR who plant daily doses of material looking to further divide Conservatives from the Republican party. It isn’t hard to see the consequences of their past success.
There are some great ‘specimens’ of these goons on our local news forum. It’s ALWAYS the same ones. Hate-filled and rabid.
Exactly! That is the decided difference, the tell-tail sign of the frauds, the anger and nastiness, never before seen on FR, but a staple of the Left. Is it time to name names?
LOL, great graphic. It should say “The Troll Zone”.
The Liberals know the old saw; “It takes ten words to tell a lie, and a million words to disprove it”. Sadly some Republicans do too. Conservatives appear to actually have values, standards and self respect.

Liberals want to destroy us. All is fair.
I would think that lib-trolls would have a very hard time being ‘subtle’. It’s not in their nature.
It’s time to coordinate an invasion of DU & KOS. If hundreds of us flood the site they won’t know what to do. Of course, this could lead to a retaliation however, they’re already going at it.
we need someone to infiltrate their locations and tell us their plans.
How hard could it be to act retared and pretend to believe in nonsense.
Get in the door an get some videotape of actual illegal plans
I see the consequence of not dividing pubbies from true conservatism. We got RINO Bush who destroyed the party & Rino McLame who caused this creature to occupy the WH. Don't forget the Calif. mess with RINO Ahrnold. No, don't put me in with this RINO Republican party.
What I see most of all is Obama and Socialism. I'd rather have the worst of the Republicans than what we have now. The future is very, very bleak.
