20. Same old paid shills meme
Tue Apr 26, 2016, 05:30 AM
Apr 2016


Someone got into a spat in GDP this weekend with a HRC supporter. They accused the HRC supporter of being a paid shill. I got called to the jury. I then looked at the profile of the person accused - here since 2001.

I then responded to the thread. I got alerted on - probably by the person we shall call "the accuser" for accusing the person they accused of being a paid shill. I did not get a hide and I shouldn't have.

Stay with me - I'm not being meta here. So I responded again with:

I wasn't calling them out

I was pointing out - if what "The Accuser" is saying is true - then that's one hell of a long game on HRC's part. It doesn't make sense that "The Accused" would be a "paid shill" for the Clinton campaign since 2001. We weren't even internet focused for her Senate run- which I was happy to knock on doors, make calls, and get people registered for in 2000. She was hip deep in the Senate in 2001 and probably didn't even know this site existed.

Thanks for posting the results though.


It would be one hell of a long game if alllllll of these HRC supporters on the web have been "sleepers" for 15/16 years. They know it doesn't make sense - but still they proceed.
