It's been pretty well established that we have DU types come here and establish their bona fides as conservatives and then when a campaign heats up, start to trash a candidate.
There have even been rumors of candidates paying posters to come here. Some freepers have multiple screen names and talk with themselves under their other screen name(s), if you know what I mean. That way they set up an echo chamber. Sometimes they forget to change computers/screen names and we've found them posting to themselves. Oops. LOL.
I'm pretty suspicious of freepers who take extreme positions that I've never in real life heard people make.
I hadn't noticed anything like that. Maybe I'm just naive. I did notice some similarities in posting styles in this thread, though, now that you mention it. There are two posters, and I can't really remember both their screennames, who use similar, odd patterns of capitalizing whole words for emphasis. Still, that's such a common practice with many people, I didn't make any particular connection. If I had time, I'd go back and have a closer look, but I have to leave shortly.
OK, I did go back through the thread. The two posters were davidosborne and Floriduh Voter. Both use internal word capitalization for emphasis.
But, their posting styles are quite different. Their diction is different, as well. I don't think they can be the same person.
Are you suggesting that I am extreme? My entire resume is available to the public.. http://www.bio.davidosborne.net in addition, I have never posted under any other name, except maybe when my wife screen name jennieosborne ask me to post something homeschool related on her behalf....
I know this sort of thing happens, but there's an old saying: "Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Sometimes a nut is just a nut. ;-)
I've been driving back and forth from the Elections Supervisor finding out how to get an absentee ballot so I'm in the hole on this election.
Who's rumor mongering on free republic?
Charlie Crist's buddy Robert Michael for Judge has been sued by his opponent Jack Day for defamation. I hope people who haven't voted yet will reconsider their vote for Robert Michael because he may be disqualified for defamation and cheating. The St. Petersburg Times Satuday September 2, 2006
Charlie Crist defamed Tom Gallagher in the August 28th debate but Gallagher isn't going to sue I guess because he seems to be the only candidate who's not a bleeding heart, liberal lawyer.
