I've excerpted this article to convey the key points in the article. There are two "Freepers" I suspect of being paid commenters. They only comment on topics related to Russia and to defend the Putin regime. I won't mention their names.

But who knew that some of our FR comrades look like this:

"Members of an Internet support community called Medvedev's Girls attend a meeting with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in the Kremlin on November 9, 2011.

I also support the Russian position on homosexuals and their rights. And any Freeper who is here supporting that position is a great American and not wishy washy

but at least some anti-Western comments appear to come from staffers the Russian government pays to sit in a room, surf the Internet, and leave sometimes hundreds of postings a day that criticize the country's opposition and promote Kremlin-backed policymakers.

Locally they are known as "Organizing for Action"

No I get your point, are you a paid pro-fag lobbist?

There are plenty of leftist freepers, anti-Palin freepers all getting paid.

That you are making it sound bad means what?

According to the study linked within this article, the U.S. still ranks high in Internet "freedom":

America's drop was attributed to, as one might expect, the PRISM/NSA revelations. But interestingly, on Freedom House's overall rank, the U.S. still places fourth, just under Germany but above Australia and France. It'll be interesting to see if our ranking slips further in the case of future revelations about online data monitoring. 

Anybody here buying that? I'm not.

Paid trolls are nothing new under the sun, the left invented the idea, along with astroturf (fake grassroots), ACORN, and other movements purporting to be “populist” which are driven by leftist activists using apathetic or uninformed bystanders as their tools.

As for Russia’s stance on sodomites-Free Republic is anti-sodomite agenda, and more power to Russia in this instance for not caving to their pressure when the whole West is falling like dominoes to the sodomite agenda. I don’t have to love everything Russia does to agree with their anti-sodomite stance.

“some anti-Western comments appear to come from staffers the Russian government pays to sit in a room, surf the Internet, and leave sometimes hundreds of postings a day that criticize”

I take it that this reporter has never heard of Obama-For-America, SEIU, etc?

It’s called “Strategic Internet Manipulation”, or the more popular “Opinion Engineering”, and there are dozens of firms that do this for leftist political operations in America.

That’s why millions of Twitter and Facebook handles are fakes, run by bots or sometimes even humans, as well as programmed forum responses.

What originally started as the Soros pay-per-posting program to elect John Kerry has morphed into a science, now. It is even marketed to corporations as a way to increase public opinion.
