As Rove orchestrated the SwiftBoater's, does he do DUers?
Just asking because it seems every thread that questions Kerry's response (or lack thereof) to something, or every thread talking about the latest poll numbers, or every thread with ANYTHING negative about the Democratic Party or candidate draws the same posters over and over and over, all eager to pile on and get their licks in. Yet any thread that mentions ANYTHING positive is ignored by them.

Or am I imagining things?

1. You're not imagining things
But we're not supposed to call them out. Wouldn't be polite. :shrug:

2. Yes and no
what you are missing is basic human psychology

People tend to emphazize the negative and assume the possitive is just there

That is why repeating that good things are going on (Poll number TRENDS) are not good for Bush, needs to be done

I noticed that myself. I believe we're being Freeped surreptitiously.

Cowards.

4. Could the moderators do some simple analysis
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 03:23 PM by QuidditchFan
and compare the amount of negative posts to the number of posts someone has posted? It would SEEM (I haven't thought about this a lot yet) that if you found a high inverse correlation between the negativity and the number of posts logged by a user that you MIGHT be able to draw some conclusions.

6. Nah, too easy...
Many of the posters I see have over 1000 posts, and some actually have stars. That doesn't mean they aren't paid operatives though...

5. No kidding. Put up positive polls and every beeyotcher misses that thread.

They only flock to the negative poll threads. Coincidence?
