...some of the threads had more than a thousand comments.

What's your best guess... who do you think might be behind this? Does it feel like a machine attack?

"What's your best guess... who do you think might be behind this? Does it feel like a machine attack?"

Many of the comments are direct replies to people like me, who objected to their comments, so I don't think the attack is entirely automated. But there are many comments which use obscene graphics (e.g., penis shaped images), Hitler images, and so forth, which were no doubt prepared in advance. There is obviously some planning involved.

Taken as a whole, the comments are incoherent - many are anti-Semitic, yet many others claim to come from Jews who show contempt for “the goy.” Others are pro and anti Trump, many are hostile to NRO per se, some are faux-Muslim, some are anti-American, and some are specifically pro-left. This is why I called it “demonic” (to someone’s scorn) at the outset, because it is utterly deceptive and chaotic.
