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?
Probably a troll. /s
You made my posts look like child’s play! LOL
I don't recall having surrendered.
In addition a number of you have made fun of Megn McCain's physical appearance. You are risking a sexual harassment class action lawsuit by her and and the hosts of ABC's The View. In addition La Raza (NCLR) is thinking of suing you for all your anti-immigration reform statements. You are warned.
Remember, speech is free and will remain free as long as you dont abuse it by bashing Juan McCain.
LOL. How true!
On another note, perhaps you could clear something up for me.
Can you please provide criteria for what qualifies a comment as "criticism" vs. "bashing"?
Thanks in advance. ;-)
You are very polite :) Valid criticism is when you talk about what a great hero John McCain is and how brave he is for offering to work with democrats, attack conservatives and get praised by NBC. Bashing is when you say anything he or Megn don't like(and Jaun and Megn are very sensitive.)
calcowgirl you are at the top of the Anti-McCain troll list, but still below rabs
Thank you, so much! That helps a lot but I'm still a bit confused. Could you possibly help by distinguishing between "valid criticism" and "praise."
calcowgirl you are at the top of the Anti-McCain troll list, but still below rabs
Dang... is that a glass ceiling thing? ;-)
Let me try again. (Sorry , It is late here) Valid “criticism” is when you complain about him opposing Obama and democrats and acting like a Republican, what the MSM calls the 'bad' McCain . “bashing” is when he is called a RINO for attacking republicans on NBC and proposing amnesty.
Valid criticism is anytime you dare to get up off your knees and stop "respecting" Rear Admiral McQueeg and his "Savior" the Lord Obama, or any of the other RINOs.
Bashing is when you dare to admit that Ashley Biden is better looking than Meghan McCain...but then again, that's not exactly a challenging feat to accomplish.
Oh.... now I'm sooooo confused! Must be a blond thing.
Is it bashing to point out that McCain never made Admiral, Rear or otherwise?
(no, no, no... I keep getting images of Lindsey Graham in my mind for some reason)
I can't recall a scenario like that. ;-)
I was trying to crack a joke about post 44 on this infamous thread, but it appears that my humor is lost at 2 am (and after going through pages and pages of an online driver improvement clinic that I'm voluntarily participating in for safe driving points).
No problem. I was just joking with ya.
Get some sleep! Good night! :-)
Yea, this is exactly why I should go to sleep now. LOL. G’night!
What I really meant to say was ‘criticism’ of McCain is illegal under campaign finance reform. (that was his intent anyway) There is an interesting case going to the supreme court on a Hillary Clinton movie where TV commercials and ads for the movie were blocked under violation of the McCain bill for being too close to the election.
This is just too funny! Your tactics belie your motives and it’s just too easy to hit a nerve. The Dems know it, too. And to all of you who have incorrectly painted me something I’m not, that’s further evidence that you have a weakness, an inability to see what is really happening, and that can easily be targeted.
You are your own worst enemy, and Conservatives worst, too. One Ann Coulter is all we need. The rest of you, if sincere, need to build the movement. McCain is a hasbeen, but still effective for the Dims because you let him be.
You are so busy splitting Conservatives from Republicans without compromise that, if you aren’t trolls, you are missing the best opportunity to destroy the opposition. Most of you must be quite young to not see the obvious. Do to them what you are doing to yourselves. Split libs from the Dems in areas where it can be done. Republicans and Conservatives can’t afford to be separated at this juncture, lest you want O’s in the WH from now on. McCain, as Cowgirl pointed out, IS a lame duck. HE DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE!!! He will be much more conservative going forward. He’s heard from his own state on that one. Go PROMOTE someone who does represent what you are, but you are expending valuable energy tearing down something that just doesn’t matter enough anymore, except to the Dims, who are exploiting him to make you angry, to separate you from the Republican party.
Don’t be “easy” and naive, which, if you aren’t, is why I and many, many others here are suspicious of your motives.
I see you found the very article that discusses what you are, you call your friends out and start breaking the furniture. Just too obvious.
“Freeper Melinda has said that you are all trolls for opposing McCain.”
Ridiculous. Prove it. More evidence you are a fraud.
<<<Ridiculous. Prove it. More evidence you are a fraud.>>>
To: rabscuttle385
LOL. Smacked down? You and your ilk are a trolls with a dull sword. We are on to you.
