"Concern troll" is the description we have been needing to nail down the backstabbing anti-Palin bedwetters who infest the GOP and even FR.

"We came up with the term Eeyores to describe people in our ranks during the Clinton campaign who would depress other volunteers with their pessimism, negativity, and 'there’s no way we can win!' nonsense."

It's a shame that they use the term "we" to describe their sycophantic idolization of a political shark who doesn't know or care about them. "You" are a nobody who serves as a stepping-stone for "her," peasant.

Am I supposed to accept the words of an admitted Hillary fanatic?

Eeyores and Concern Trolls: 2 new terms added to my lexicon. Thanks.

Great description, downthread of a “purist” as well. Purity...what an internet concept.

Thanks for the ping!

Boy, do we sure have both of these here! The concern trolls are out in force over Scott Brown.

Does Concern troll fit the "that candidate isn't conservative enough so we should not vote and let the extreme lib win" poster? I wonder....

Well .. guess what? He’s describing what
goes on in politics today .. both parties
and both lib and conservative forums, blogs,
etc.

Lots of us recognize those very tactics
being used regularly here.

LOL. I think that’s the idea of this posting.
Be on the alert and recognize them for what they are: Concern trolls or Eeoyores. It might take some practice to get it right...lol...so I have saved the article.
