In reply to the discussion: Training Tea Party Activists In Guerilla Internet Tactics - BUSTED! [View all]Jessy169
(602 posts)13. It is nice to know that what I always suspected is true
It has been obvious for quite a while that there are literally armies of right-wing lunatic posters out there busy spreading the lies, rumors and pumping up the false accusations on a 24/7/365 basis. That's why it is so important to keep putting out the truth and the other point of view with our own posts -- to counter all the bullshit. Consider it a civic duty. To be honest, however, I don't think that these sock puppet armies sway elections -- but they DO pump up and maintain the hate/anger levels in the lie-believing right-wing neanderthal crowd, which translates to votes for the G.O.P.

Then don't respond to me, respond to the OP and I supported the premise of the OP.

We seem to have a fair amount of the Paulbot/Greenwald fans here, I don't blame them for

I don't think conflating 'Paulbots' with 'Greenwald fans' is a useful way to post.
