In reply to the discussion: So who makes up the RW trolls here? [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)I said she was a troll. Read the accepted definition according to Wikipedia. Once in awhile she added to the conversation in a reasonable manner and made valid points, but much of the time she was ummmmmmmmmm less than coherent.
The guys you mention were busted mostly because she baited them into saying that they felt Holder is less than honest about F&F. She used those posts and tattled to the mods about "conspiracy nuts." Some of us, including me, saw through it and saw her efforts for what it was. Her goal was to suppress another point of view, no more no less. That is no different than a targeting someone with only a few posts and accusing them of being "zombies" based on little or nothing. Same goal, different tactic. I am guessing that is what inspired this OP.
While I agree that the few individuals were overzealous(fucking nuts) for both of our tastes when it comes to use of force and citizen's arrest, that makes them authoritarian but necessarily RW as far as loving supply side economics or hating unions go. Not all authoritarians are RW. Diane Fienstien is authoritarian, but progressive (once you get past pro death penalty, pro Iraq war, pro PATRIOT ACT, and a few other things that puts her to the right of me). Does that really make her a progressive or a centrist? I digress.
