Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, has apparently hired a cadre of left-wing, Democrat campaign bloggers to troll through the Internet looking for news stories and blog posts that denigrate the Obama agenda. After such websites are found it is the job of these secret lefty bloggers to leave comments that come to the support of Obamaism in the comments sections. It seems that Eric Holder has created his own little propaganda unit in a valiant effort to become the Bloggi Riefenstahl of the Obama era.
As reported at The Muffled Oar, a blog that first broke the story of Holder's secretive blogging unit -- dubbed the "Blog Squad" by blogger Isaac Muzzey -- Holder has housed this unit in the Office of Public Affairs at the Department of Justice. It also appears that former John Edwards staffer Tracy Russo is part of this special unit.
A site called whorunsgov.com reported back in May that DOJ hired Russo to do "media outreach for the whole department." It is, according to whorunsgov.com, the first time such an effort has been made at DOJ.
Of Russo's duties, The Muffled Oar says:

This was reported from another source within the past 7 days on FR but I’m hornswaggled as to find the thread. (Couldn’t figure out the correct search terms.)
Denigrating the ‘bama?
Finally found it: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2353325/posts
I knew something was going on. During the election it was Action wires sent out to discredit truth. Obama supporters were willing to do anything for Obama. After he was elected, he said he still needed them. Some said they would be waiting by their phone. Many of those supporters are now gone. For the most part Obama has welfare entitlement and free HC supporters now.
They not only want information they want their posts seen to discredit the topic. You can tell they just post anything with nothing to back it up. They hope that anyone who sees the thread will believe them. When they don’t get anywhere they start with the names and insults.
Is DOJ posting anonymously legal if no crime has been committed?
I hope you reported him to the mods.
see post 49, they are talking about you.
Thanks for your response, to Candor7.
Personally, I like the trolls, they sharpen our arguments and skills.
I hope you don’t ban to many of them. mlo an idiot but, NonSequitor is actually pretty bright and I enjoy parying with from to time.
Isn’t government suppose to declare they are from the government unless they have a court order to spy?
YouTube is definitely a place where a lot of ignoramuses post on behalf of Obama with sarcastic remarks if you hit a nerve with a lot of details.

Those are paid bloggers. There was an article on Huffington about the paid and volunteer bloggers on You Tube. Axelrod said he got millions of dollars in free advertising by using bloggers on You Tube. Of course, that can be countered by the GOP doing the same thing. I’m sure they will./s
nothing to report. Dummy did a drive by, with two posts(the horrors) and hasn’t been heard from since Saturday.
Then again, Maybe he only works on Saturdays.
To tell the truth many Freepers have enjoyed the DOJ blogging teams paid intervention of FR, simply because of the proof they provide that the president indeed has something truly destructive of his qualifications for office to hide.

Well we all know where they appear first... the Birth Certificate threads. That tells us all we need to know.
Me, I’m looking forward to the re-education camps, get some time off, hang around, cause trouble with the fascists, get taken to the woods and one shot to the head, free burial.
Eric Holder is an incompetant asshole who was probably bullied constantly in school. He must share the same DNA with Waxman as they both look like rodents .( Demorats )
mlo is a long term FReeper who lives in my neck of the woods. I’ve FReeped with him before. He’s ok. Definitely not a liberal troll or Obama supporter. And not a DOJ blogger.
One of their tactics seems to be to act conservative on almost all issues so as not to be branded a troll, and then pick one issue to go all out for the administration’s view.
I just tried to read the post you gave and it has been deleted. Why?
Look, above! I think I caught one of them moles here LOL

And if it is illegal, they are going to get prosecuted.
