Thanks Stoat!

I've done cursory research lately to debunk a falsehood spreader here locally on another political matter and found something striking trying to ferret out truth and facts:

There a 1,000 Monkeys Typing for the 'rats.

I imagine it's their way of balancing discussions--by spreading outright lies.

Thanks Stoat!

You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted that you've found it to be worthwhile  :-)

I certainly appreciate what you're doing and I doubt that I would be going out on a limb to say that all Patriots appreciate what you're doing....and I'm SURE that Governor Palin appreciates what you're doing   :-)

I imagine it's their way of balancing discussions--by spreading outright lies.

I suppose if a person has no moral foundation, has a worldview that is built upon hysteria, lies and endlessly-disproven political and economic concepts, has a computer and nothing but time on his hands, and feels that the fabric of his existence is falling apart because Governor Palin is on the road that will likely take her to the Presidency not too many years from now, then yes I guess spreading malicious lies is about all they have left to do.

That number seems a bit low -- make it thousands. They literally swarm onto political blogs and news sites in the space of a few hours, and, of course, report back to Monkey HQ when there's something negative (however true) about O making the rounds. Monkey HQ then immediately translates that into a distorted "smear" orchestrated by the McCain campaign. The closer the "smear" is to the truth, the more hysterical the reaction.

Community activism, fug-ugly internet style.
