39. You can fight them but you have to go out and fight them........

where they are on NBC,CBS, ABC, on you tube everywhere they lurk or astroturf. Staying here and wracking up thousands of posts is not fighting the battle. I come here mostly for the the Latest Breaking News, because members post important events here faster than they appear as "Breaking" stories on most news outlets. But I am also on my local newspaper and comment boards like Politix, Topix, where the overwhelming majority are Baggers. It is easy to get drowned out, they have the numbers to do that, but are easily spotted as paid shills. Getting that information out to the people that are willing to listen is important. I don't know, everyone lives in a bubble I too am in one, but mine is, I hope an expanding bubble. I have so many different accounts it is hard to keep them straight, DISQUS is one of my favorites it allowed me to post even on some of the most disgusting sites like the Daily Creepy Crawler, and other sites that use DISQUS.
