I find it alarming that you've made more than 1/6 of my total posts in less than 1/36th the total time I've been on these forums, and I post A LOT for a person that works two jobs and owns a house and has a fiance.
Who is paying you full-time to post on these boards?
When he, and a few others that get PAID by the DNC to come on websites and spew propaganda, he can afford to be here!

The second pattern is the strong association between this tactic and a certain set of views: pro-corporate, anti-tax, anti-regulation. Both traditional conservatives and traditional progressives tend be more willing to discuss an issue than these right-wing libertarians, many of whom seek instead to shut down debate.
For his film (Astro)Turf Wars, Taki Oldham secretly recorded a training session organized by a rightwing libertarian group called American Majority. The trainer, Austin James, was instructing Tea Party members on how to manipulate the medium. This is what he told them:
Heres what I do. I get on Amazon; I type in Liberal Books. I go through and I say one star, one star, one star. The flipside is you go to a conservative/ libertarian whatever, go to their products and give them five stars. This is where your kids get information: Rotten Tomatoes, Flixster. These are places where you can rate movies. So when you type in Movies on Healthcare, I dont want Michael Moores to come up, so I always give it bad ratings. I spend about 30 minutes a day, just click, click, click, click. If theres a place to comment, a place to rate, a place to share information, you have to do it. Thats how you control the online dialogue and give our ideas a fighting chance.
