107. Intresting lesson as to how the right wing echo chamber works.......

Sat Jan 5, 2013, 01:41 PM

Jan 2013

You see, on yesterdays Home page DU showed.....
"So I opened my paycheck today---well---actually I get direct deposit...."
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022132436
We read the OP, got the drift, commented, RECed, possibly got a chuckle out of it.
To the "GOP co." propaganda employs such as limpballs and the foxes, that OP was pure GOLD!
Sure they read it they knew what it was about but they knew something else.
If they blathered about it their sheep would skoot over to DU, read the first line ONLY then pick up the chant with screams of na na naaa na na.
Soon right wing blogs would pick up the mantra and the intertubes would fill with the chant, silly liberals na na naaa na na.
Grade school stuff.
We here at DU would spend the afternoon "swatting trolls".
No bigey, by tomorrow it will be back to Obama's anti American muslin sheets. Or something.

Teapublicans, the threat from within.
