There's nothing in that craigslist ad that suggests that people are being hired to comment on blogs.
We had someone here who had 90,000 posts in less then a year...
Or maybe a bit longer then a year...
I would not be shocked if we had a few here today that are being paid.
Why would anyone be paid to post here? What purpose would that serve?
The mindset that anyone who disagrees with you must be being paid to do it is nothing more than a symptom of the delusion that opinions on this message board matter.
They don't.
No legitimate political organization would waste their money on paying people to post here.
You're not serious, are you Doc?
It's the digital world. The internet is the propagandist's paradise. Groups of all political persuasions do it.
No, they don't. No one "does it".
Has anyone on a message board ever changed your mind about anything?
I get .05 cents per word....And since brevity is wit.................It's minimalism in action.....More may follow....This a paid post.....
I am the post inspector. You will not get paid for this drivel.
Substance, please.
Paid by the word, not by the post.

Liberal old farts are not so uptight like conservative old farts....I do not GAF what you "think"...Why? Doc is a mod.
well, why are you chirping, then?
I made the mistake of thinking you might have the brains to take some friendly advice. My bad.
go pound sand.
What is it with fat drunks from Louisiana?
What is it with limp dicks who have nothing better to do then live on USMB? Other than being trolls.
Now see there, idiot? My post was relative to the topic. Yours was not. Yet being the limped dick hypocrite that you are, you slammed someone else for being off topic.
Everything about you is inconsistent, BS.
Well well, Franco, Greenbeard, Wrongwhiner. ring a bell?

Earlier today I wrote about the way the official Obamacare website has apparently recruited people to post thousands of comments each, creating the appearance of mass support, a variant on the traditional astroturfing strategy of creating bogus grassroots organizations.
Big Fur Hat of iOTW Report has spotted what looks very much like a Craigslist ad recruiting trolls to post positive or negative comments on left-wing or conservative websites, respectively. The text in full, as well as a screen capture (in case the ad is removed), follow:
Write About Green Issues, Animals, Human Rights, Progressive Politics (per content and completion bonus)
compensation: telecommute
contract job internship part-time
telecommuting okay
We are a large social activism organization that advocates on behalf of issues including the environment, human rights, animal welfare, social justice, politics and more. We are seeking part-time interns who are interested in working on these important causes. Interns will improve their writing and research skills, while building a broad portfolio of online writing samples.
Interns are given broad discretion in choosing the causes they work on. The time commitment is flexible and work can be done from anywhere with an Internet connection. Applicants should have a strong interest in activism and possess good writing and Internet skills, but prior activism experience is not required.
Interns are compensated for their work, and graduates of the internship also receive a bonus and may be considered for future work.
To apply, please respond with a brief cover letter and writing sample (pasted into your email). Please also provide at least two specific examples of causes that you would take action to support.
To assist in our internal tracking, please place "891" in the subject line of your response.
Please do NOT use the anonymous Craigslist email feature to respond to this post. We've had a number of problems with those emails not delivering or being spam filtered. Please respond with your real email address directly to: jobs [at] forcechange [dot] com.

Has anyone on a message board ever changed your mind about anything?
I dunno, I come from the intelligence world where propaganda is one of the biggest tools of "warfare" and you're asking me if propaganda changes people's minds?
Yes, it does. Doesn't matter where it shows up.
So does KatzdogsYou loons, liewinger has admitted on here numerous times that he's paid to troll.
I see it more as a pleasure, why she enjoys the abuse so much, she took me off iggy....time to tell more sordid tales of Catholics frolicking with Lutherans.....I don't know about the other liberals on here, but calling out people like koshergrl for her stupidity isn't a job, it's a reflexive action.

F Yeah! Even if I have to work for it by bumming at Wal Mart....A lib gotta have his weed money.
The only thing better is a fake address generator...."A class of software called "persona management software" magnifies the effectiveness of each paid fake opinion writer by auto-generating a credible but phony online persona (also called a "sockpuppet"), including a fake name, email address, web site, social media profiles and other data. The software creates fake online activity to give the non-existent users a "history" or online "footprint."
"Persona management software" specific to social networks is called a "social bot."
Are online comments full of paid lies Computerworld
