Is it just me or is Townhall being highjacked?

I often peruse the articles on Townhall.com as part of my daily dose of political commentary. Over the last few months I've noticed more and more left-wing kooks (trolls?) that have made prolonged appearences there.

Did MoveOn.org recently assign a directorate to infiltrate and disrupt popular, center-right websites like Townhall?

If any of you get a chance in the next several days, drop by Townhall.com and see. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

I used to go there almost every day, but got away from it. I’ll check it out and let you know what I think. ;^)

I need to be clearer. The forum discussions are being highjacked. It’s not the editorialists themselves who are doing the highjacking.

Ron Paul’s people are coming out of the woodwork there. It’s a mostly unmoderated forum - well, it was.

In addition to the lefties trolling a number of sites, I’ve also noticed an uptick in new members from China on sites I moderate. With an alarming uniformity they troll their support of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and they sidestep any controversial questions aimed at them about the Dalai Lama or the Republic of China.

When I first saw your headline, I assumed that you meant by the Romney campaign.

Seems it’s been that way for awhile. There are a bunch of lefties that go there. When I used to post on Lucianne.com there were always a certain number of leftist that might post there.
