those tea party fucks were totally out of control today

[rwsanders]

46. I believe some are paid, or are using software I heard about recently that allows 1 person to...

manage several user accounts.
I've called a few on it, one was on a subject that I actually knew something about (the dolphin die offs on the east coast) and he was quickly over his head. But enough petty boasting, the accounts share a few common features:
You will usually see a first and last name.
Some of the photos look eerily the same as far as lighting, position of the subject, etc.
They are usually the first to post.
Full of false "factoids" they are eager to post.
The reason for this was posted recently on Scientific American as the reasoning for disabling their user comment feature. Because the agressive comments make uninformed readers doubt the veracity of an article even if it is scientifically valid.
LA Time recently dropped comments from climate deniers for the same reason.

I thing part of it is the wealthy right wingers are seeking to control the discussion on the internet the way they control the MSM.

Very annoying.
