Cointelpro isn’t known as a success, was it?
During the election the CTR shills did all of these on the various boards I travel, including this one.
Is FR under the control of The NSA?
Sounds a bit manipulative, if you ask me.
It is obvious from this info that it was clearly aimed at Conservatives and gun owners to entrap them into illegal activities. That’s disconcerting. Stupid government asshats.
One was pure Bill: Establish yourself firmly for (or against) a topic, say, gay marriage. Have an ally publicly scold you (a proponent in Congress for instance). Then, 'after much reflection', pronounce yourself cured of bigotry and 'change your mind'. I used to marvel at the people on both sides– but especially the media– who spoke of these obvious manipulations in grave tones. It was comical if you knew to look for it!
The second notable trick was (I believe) invented by Karl Rove.
In this trick, an outrageous commercial is made accusing an opponent of something despicable, i.e. kicking puppies. Run the commercial a few times (cheaply) on backwater cable stations in the middle of the night. Make sure your opponents know it's going to run.
In no time, your Democrat opponents friends in the media pick up the commercial and run it endlessly on the evening news, tsk-tsking the whole time.
Rove did this to Gore all over Tennessee in 2000 with good results...

Just do what angry liberals do.
“YOU’RE ALL RACIST NAZIS”
They don’t even need to do any of this on leftist boards like DU. They out themselves all the time all on their own without any coaxing.
Whatever became of the “posts pics of yourself with your guns” noob that was active here for a while?
How do the trolls feel about people knowing their trolling, playing along with it, and using it to win an election because they were so predictable?
Reads like the FBI infiltration of the Oregon stand off with fake protestors asking for “public lands”, when we know there is no such thing that is the government’s that is public.
I wonder if they use Sorros’ network of protestors...
Bookmarked. I have long been suspicious of “show me your gun” type of postings and threads ... for this very reason.
Ping!
