Bill Collier
Community Governance Adviser- Team Sarah
I want to let everyone know now, that we have all the facts, why today seemed a bit, well, crazy...
At Team Sarah we are experiencing -- and, with your help, neutralizing -- an attempt to frame this community for harboring hate speech and bigotry: violations of our own Terms of Use and community standards. We have just found and documented a group of 90 invaders who are plotting to come here to post racist remarks and radical, over the top, content in an attempt to discredit us, to get you, our members, fighting each other, and to just make it difficult for us to function as a community. This is not suspicion. We have irrefutable evidence!
We know who these people are through technological traces of where they are coming from (called IP Addresses) and other means. We have the website owner's information from the website from whence this conspiracy to vandalize our community. We have lodged a protest. And we fight on!
This invasion was detected early on by TeamSarah member Kelley S, who is working with me to protect our community from such misconduct. We are taking many active measures to suppress the invasion. Thank you all for your excellent advice and support in defending TeamSarah. This discredits the Liberal attackers, not TeamSarah!
Truth outs in the end.
It is now apparent that the earlier attack on our reputation blogged at The Huffington Post was of the same nature: send in agents provocateurs to say awful things, frame us for violations of our own high standards, and treat them as "real" in order to discredit us. The smoking gun? One of the HuffPo's claims against us is identical to what one of the website's posters gloated about posting!
Just a few samples (we have 15 pages of documentation!) of the conspiracy in the conspirators' own words:
Brown Moses - The idea isn't to troll, but to agree with everyone saying insane poo poo to reinforce their belief they are the ones who are the true supporters of Sarah Palin, and those people who attempt any sort of moderation are evil Obama supporting turncoats who need to be purged. You'll get so much insane poo poo posted then trolling will be irrelevant.
******************************
this is a pretty good point
i am trying to get them to admit to/feel more comfortable with using white nationalist rhetoric
******************************
Brown Moses -If Hillaryis44 is anything to go by the posters will eventually think they've pratically got direct contact with the Palin campaign thanks to the website, and anything they post will be considered by the campaign in a serious way.
******************************
With your help we are getting the situation under control. We are working, around the clock sometimes, to exclude potential invaders and to expel those who have sneaked past our defenses. The Invaders tactics resemble the arsonists who put the torch to Gov. Palin's church. They will fail, and fail in shame. TeamSarah is stronger, and more dignified, and together we are repelling these attacks.
Thank all those who have contributed whatever they can afford at the "donate here" button to allow us the resources to fight for our integrity. And if you care to donate to help us raise our defenses and fight for our integrity and reputation, thank you!
If you want to help move this story, I have posted it on RedState:
Liberal Conspiracy to Frame and Defame TeamSarah: Busted!
GO there and recommend it, send people links, etc.
Also; DO NOT in any way attempt in ANY WAY to retaliate or anything of the sort. Help get the info. out, stay focused on what we do here, and RELAX! (As I said earlier)---- Bill
I already saw your spot-on comment this morning, Philo. Thanks! The folks over at Team Sarah have finally caught on too, after a slow response to the infiltration. They’re learning real fast how nasty and vicious lib trolls from DU, KOS, and HP can be.
In the eyes of the mainstream media, Free Republic is defined more by the Chuy’s/Mia Lawrence incident, than by the exposure of the forged Killian memos on CBS News in September 2004. As I’ve said, they want to portray conservatives as a tribe of vicious, bigoted Neanderthals — either stupid or evil, and preferably both. Anything that supports this hypothesis will be repeated everywhere; anything that undercuts this hypothesis will be ignored. The Kos/DU hordes organize in large numbers to come over here, pose as conservatives and post vicious and bigoted bulls**t, providing support for the “Freepers R Bigoted Neanderthals” hypothesis.
also is america4AMERICANS one of us or what:

whoever it is just sent me a friend request so idk
Glad to see this guy got busted.
There are some lines we try not cross, and delibertely going into a Forum simply to "mess" w/it is one of those things.
Some places like FR are fine to "mess" with, but this has come to the point where it it is merely cruel; we're better than that.
These people have WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands.
