Lib Candidate for TN Gov Hiring People to Infiltrate Social Media, Pose as Average User, Push Agenda
Pundit Press ^ | 9/28/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 09/28/2014 12:57:44 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

Isa Infante, the liberal Green Party candidate running for governor in Tennessee, is hiring people to create profiles on social media, such as Reddit, pretend to be an average user, then push for her "progressive" agenda.

Ms. Infante is a self-labelled "progressive" candidate for Tennessee. Part of her platform is "ecological wisdom, social justice, feminism, and nonviolence." But, of course, as a Green Party candidate, she has had trouble gaining traction in the race. Her campaign, therefore, is now posting ads looking for people to pose as average social media users to pretend to have "found" this wonderful, liberal candidate.

The ads for these positions were posted publicly on VolunteerMatch, a website devoted to matching volunteers with causes they support. Under the ad for "Reddit Expert Redditor," the campaign says they are looking for "someone to start, manage and post on a campaign Reddit to promote our progressive candidate."

Poor guy. There are entire companies that make a living doing that, and could probably do it much better than some hired trolls.

A communist using paid trolls? I’m shocked. NOT.

Hmmm, wonder if any of her lightning bait will stop by here?

ads looking for people to pose as average social media users to pretend to have "found" this wonderful, liberal candidate.

None of the positions currently listed on volunteermatch.org fit this description - maybe those ads were taken down after this article was published?

LOL!
I’ve been accused of that when I’d post something pro-conservative on news sites.

“You’re being paid to post this crap!”

I laughed pretty good when that happened.

humblegunner is an inspiration to me.

Not much of a weekend off - he posted 12 minutes ago on this thread.

I wonder how much the Democrats will tolerate Greens in their backyard? Since Greens exclusively siphon off Democrat votes...

Whenever I visit most conservative sites if any issue important to Obama or the homosexual agenda is raised, there usually is one and only one troll who posts and posts and posts and often effectively disrupts important debates. Some see what is happening but most don’t. The people around today aren’t your Democrats of old. They are tyrants who want to force their values on the rest of the country and be in charge. They are winning, and we are losing. And most conservatives don’t seem to really notice.
