(57,936 posts)You can tell a right-wing shill because they never deviate from the party line, even when the party line is hard to defend -- like some fascist act like allowing corporations to have access to "secret" government information about international negotiations but denying that access to the representatives of the people who are part of the people's government.
Same for Obama-shills. They never deviate from the party line, and they always, always, recite the party line -- in perfect talking points -- even when the party line, such as the defense of giving corporations access to information that the people's representatives are not allowed to have -- is reprehensible and incompatible with even a facade of democracy.
It's as if the shills' posts were written for them by some professional or maybe even some public relations group.
And nary a word of doubt. They have an answer for everything.
Somehow, you would expect that if the shills were actually ordinary citizen DUers, they would disagree with the party line just once in a blue moon. And what is more, they would express opinions about things other than those that concern Obama and the party line -- like the latest gossip scandal.
I put one of these shills on Ignore/Do Not Disturb for a while but then I decided I would do other DUers a favor if I read his/her posts and responded. But sometimes it is very hard to respond without pointing out to other DUers just what the shill is doing and what he/she is. Very hard.
What do other DUers think should be the response to obvious shills, Democratic or Republican? Should we put them on ignore or ?????? It's easier to spot the Republican trolls. What about the Democratic shills?
