I don’t use troll in the pejorative sense. Actually, I may be trying to craft a neutral meaning of troll where none previously existed. The term, in its modern Internet usage, refers to people who want to start fights online to bring the universe into an argument on their terms. It comes not from Grimm literature, but from a fishing technique in which multiple lines are baited and dragged to haul in the maximum amount of cold-bloods.

Ping for later

The internet has become a force.

The First Dictator was so self-congratulatory (as usual) in ‘08 when he bragged that he was on the cutting edge of internet politics and fund-raising. In 2012, his bunch looks very far behind the curve in both.

Live by the internet, die by the internet.

Awe, they got a little sour taste of their own medicine and cry “It’s not fair!”. Slime, all of them!

her unique ability to create arguments that are both perfectly formed and supernaturally unconvincing

Funny line about DWS! :)

Good.

Any change to the DNC party platform required a voice vote of 2/3’s of the majority of convention delegates. The speaker stated that President Obama asked for support of this platform change.

The speaker called for voice vote of the “Ayes” and the “Nays”.. then he hesitated.
The speaker then called for a second voice vote of the “Ayes” and the “Nays”.. then he hesitated.
After another longer hesitation, the speaker then called for a third voice vote of the “Ayes” and the “Nays”.
The speaker then announced that the motion was passed , despite the obvious excess of “Nay” voice votes.

This was an enlightening expierience in what to expect from the party and how non-responsive it is to its own constituents.
Can we exect anything different from the party candidate ?
I think not .. !!

Some kinds of trolls may be like honest fishermen, but others are cowardly miscreants hiding in the darkness whose ultimate effect is the shedding of innocent blood.

“Dave Weigel sure has a short memory.

Apparently, it’s now considered trolling to accurately report what Democrats do…”

...dogged Democrats about an unforced error made by DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, when she claimed a Washington Examiner reporter lied about a quote he had on tape.

An 'unforced error'? Unforced error? That's a LIE. If a Republican had said an 'unforced error' the suck-ups in the MSM would call it a lie. And a troll is based on the creeps under a bridge. They were originally liberal liars who came to conservative sites and pretended to be conservatives - using the lie to make Republicans look bad.

David Weigel shows a small promise of being able to see things as they really are - but he is totally wrong on the above.

They removed God from their party and platform. This wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t concerned about giving an illusion of “righteousness” before the public.

Jesus warned against this behavior.

Matthew 6:5
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”

Again with Slate.com going off the liberal reservation. It’s amazing how sometimes the truth, like a pernicious weed, can push its way through the toughest pavement and into the light of day.

The libs own the mass media yet they still complain. If the mass media was fair and balanced Romney would be leading by 10 points

[Texas Eagle]

Ha haaaaa. Citizen Journalists strike again.

Take that, Flatline Media.

[Texas Eagle]

There were, reportedly, 15,000 members of the media in Charlotte, of whom maybe 14,980 could have given a damn about the party platform.

15,000 members of the media??? Where were the delegates? Oh, right. They were locked out by The Fire Marshall.

................who thought, just 11 months after the launch of the Occupy movement, that 99 percenters would have less influence on the platform than conservative media?...............

"View from the enemy camp" bump. We just might be making inroads.

[onevoter]

Dems hate it when the MSM loses control of the spin. Suddenly, they don’t get to be the only ones who have control of the podium. Hurray for the Rush Limbaugh (and others on talk radio) and the internet and, in this case, a BIG hurray for Fox News and Brett Bauer for pounding on this point.

[papertyger]

It could have ended there. But within a few hours, CNN and Fox News were browbeating Democrats to ask why they’d changed the platform...

Slate lexicographical reference for "Browbeat."

Asking a democrat a question it doesn't want to answer....

[Chode]

some time ago there was a FReeper that posted quite a bit from YidWithALid but i don't know if it was their blog, haven't seen it in quite a long time now

Only anyone with a functioning brain who could see that the Occupy movement was a complete fraud and a joke.
