Blow Back: Trolls aren't just found on the internet, Capehart

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

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

After taking a beating on his Twitter feed, Capehart whined like a little that he was going to have to prune his account of trolls.

My first thought was, "Isn't that a case of the pot calling the kettle black, because it is." Matthews and Capehart, on national TV, did what they do daily: trolled Bernie Sanders and his supporters.

For some reason, the media believes they have a special place in commentary that makes them immune to trolling. For instance, to them, Capehart laughing with Matthews while describing Bernie's mannerisms as "jazz hands" is critical analysis when in fact, it's pure trolling.

Instead of retracting his lame piece, he played victim and accused others of trolling him. Capehart is a troll, Matthews is a troll, these guys need to understand what trolls do before they point their finger at others.

1. Kickin'

2. Most accurate. That was the last Hardball I will ever watch, Matthews and Capehart were mega

trolls, that 'jazz hands' crap was outlandishly nasty and they did all of that without having bothered to check the basic facts of their gossip. Horrible, unforgivable actions.

They must not be permitted to do that to Bernie nor to Danny Lyon because anyone could be next. Anyone. Lyon is not a candidate, had no involvement in this campaign and Matthews went after him with all the power of televised punditry just because Chris felt like doing so. Senator Joe McCarthy would be proud of them both.

If they could see my 'jazz hands' right now, they'd see on particular finger pointing directly up.

3. I agree with every word you said

and will not ever watch Chris Matthews again. I was so pissed off I almost cried after watching them carry on like that.

7. Besides..... what's wrong with "jazz hands" in the 1st place?

[corkhead]

4. I didn't see the "jazz hands" comment. Yes, he has it coming.

[Shandris]

5. Now imagine if you woke up early tomorrow and found out that every single...

...comment on the topic of Capeheart was deleted, site-wide, and on almost every internet forum you could possibly find. In addition, 19 separate articles all appear within a day and a half, all announcing proudly that people don't need to listen to the words of you BernieBros, BernieBros are dead, Capeheart is right, and Bernie Sanders is a foul man because he allowed his 'angry white male trolls' on the internet to attack this innocent author! Oh, and they've made half a billion death threats, too, mostly from accounts that are unverified, brand new, have no profile or avatar attached, and only follow big names.

Welcome to GamerGate.

6. They do love to project, their one guaranteed skill n/t

[JoeyT]

8. They're not even trolls.

They're tabloid gossipmongers.

They see themselves as Walter Cronkite, when in reality they're Perez Hilton.

9. He should be fired. nt

10. Perhaps the terminology should be changed: From 'Swiftboating' to 'Capeharting'...

@CapehartJ Your due dilligence here is appreciated! I may not agree with the notion that this is not Sanders, but you've given room to doubt

14. HA! I've gotten some likes to my posts but I don't see them. I wonder how

others are seeing them. I don't know much about twitter

[concreteblue]

16. I don't know much either

Had to google "How do I see my tweet history?" to find the thread I posted in!
I have been on it for a year but have only sent out like 15 tweets. Thought it would be good for promoting my band/music stuff but all I do is troll political BS like this.....

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

19. lol

Yeah, same. I create memes and post them to twitter and FB. I got into it during the #ResignRahm movement December past.

12. Tweety talked about Hillary's "Chinese clapping" the last time.

13. Ten Thousand Demand Chris Matthews’ Suspension, MSNBC Silent

http://dailycaller.com/2016/02/13/ten-thousand-demand-chris-matthews-suspension-msnbc-silent/

A MoveOn.org petition demanding that MSNBC suspend “Hardball” host Chris Matthews has garnered just under 10,000 signatures, even as the network has refused to address what Huffington Post called a “clear conflict of interest.”

The petition began in response to outrage over Matthews’ “constant shilling for Hillary Clinton.” The number of petition signees has almost tripled in size since The Daily Caller reported that Hillary Clinton’s biggest donors are bankrolling the congressional campaign of Matthews’ wife, Kathleen.

18. The only way to get the attention of MSNBC is to quit watching...

and that includes all of their programming. They seem determined to become another FOX.

Let them.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

20. That network really is rampant with conflicts of interest

Gross!

[99th_Monkey]

15. Capehart is a Brockian publicity whore, and yes, a Troll to boot. nt

[wolfie001]

17. First lying, now denying

[Enthusiast]

21. Matthews and Capehart are propagandists.
