I think I've sent more alerts in the past couple days than I do in some years.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Tx4obama (a host of the General Discussion forum).

SOMETHING seems to have hatched out a lot of little ones, who are busy swarming all over this place.

Anybody else noticing this?

And, their reincarnations. I guess his rise in the polls has emboldened them to troll here. I have noticed more and more of them calling into Stephanie Miller's and Thom Hartmann's radio shows lately, too.
