Left Wingers Invading Internet Forums?
3/19/08 | Eric T.

Posted on 03/19/2008 5:47:46 PM PDT by EricT.

I have noticed an increase in liberals, left-wingers, progressives, socialists, whatever else they might be called, posting on various internet forums. These are usually not politically focused forums. They never seem to post anything regarding the actual theme of these forums, instead they just post Democrat talking points. When they get banned, a new one registers within a couple of days.

Has anybody heard of any left-wing organizations that might be behind this sort of activity?

The Democrat National Committee.

I don’t know who is doing it but they’ve invaded a NASCAR “social networking” site I like to go to. Real pests. I wonder if RAID makes any software.

Soros just pumped $450 million into MoveOn.org and a bunch of other 507’s. They probably went down to the public libraries and hired the bums on a piecework basis...

If they aren’t politically focused, what kind of forum? I haven’t noticed it outside of political forums.

They are scrambling for cover and angry that their candidate, Barack Obama, is now on the tailspin. I have seen vitriole on YouTube from Obama supporters, threatening physical violence and “I know where you live” threats. They are losing...and they are scared.

Moveon.ord had people on their payroll doing this in 1004.

No, but I’ve noticed a lot of spammy posts for “Working At Home”.

We’ve had a few on a local hunting and fishing forum. Of course, they’re easy to refute. After they’ve had their butts handed to them a few times, they get insulting and then banned by the mods.

I just wanted to see if anyone had any solid evidence that this is a concerted effort by a liberal organization. Whatever is going on, it smells like seminar byproduct and I want to present any evidence of organized trolling to the members and mods of the forum.

Many of the “political left” have already voted in the Republican primaries in order to help to get McCain to become the final GOP Presidential candidate, so why not also have the “political left” invade Internet sites that they normally ignore? Like it or not, the majority of political momentum and the majority of political support is presently with the “political left”, and the future of U.S. conservatism is truly in trouble! Prove me wrong on all of this because I don’t want long-term socialism to truly take over the U.S. at any time in the future!

Let ‘em keep doing it. I figure that if their modus operandi is to go into random unrelated forums spamming boiler-plate Dem talking points and then getting banned (sometimes repeatedly), that will probably annoy the vast majority of forum members there and turn off even the people that hold the same political views (but don’t want to discuss them in, say, a golf or macrame forum). They’ll just be looked on as the spamming trolls that they are.

Do you know where I can get some confirmation on this?

Don't get mad, get even! I would encourage all freepers to find a pet political board or two that is predominently liberal to start posting to. We need to soundproof some of those liberal echo chambers that are read by uninformed moderates.

I've been doing it on a movie politics board and a gaming board lately. You can find all the ammo you need right here, I'm sure some of our better posters don't mind having their well thought out posts cut and pasted into odd parts of the web to refute silly lib arguments. I love posting sandrat's Iraq articles since news about the war certainly isn't being seen anywhere else nowadays.
