BREAKING: Dept. of Justice hired anonymous, partisan Democrat bloggers to bolster image [& troll FR]
Muffled Oar ^ | 10/2/09 | Isaac Muzzey

Posted on 10/02/2009 7:02:18 AM PDT by mudblood

The Department of Justice has hired a team of partisan Democrat campaign bloggers to work at the Department.....Tracy Russo is one such blogger from the campaign of John Edwards. The unit is housed in the Office of Public Affairs....They are also tasked with posting anonymous comments, or comments under pseudonyms, at newspaper websites with stories critical of the Department of Justice, Holder and President Obama....“There is clearly a designed effort to rebut stories that are exposing the Holder Justice Department as more political than the last. We’ve seen a change in the pattern of anonymous emails we receive and comments posted at our paper’s webpage.”

The unit is housed in the Office of Public Affairs. Not only is the Department of Justice Blog Squad going to reach out to nontraditional media like TPM Muckraker or the Muffled Oar, but they are also tasked with placing anonymous comments at conservative leaning blogs such as the Free Republic.

I am certainly missing something here. What is going on ? People are working for the Justice Department to bad mouth the Justice Department on blogs and newsprint?? I really do not understand what this is about.,

And so many see nothing amiss that the democrat party is now openly fielding professional liars and dissemblers to create an air of respectability for the lair-in-chief and his criminal enterprise democrat party. The democrat party rushed way left, and because the American people do not live there, the democrat party must have an army of liars to fabricate ‘credulity’ ... but the stink and disease doesn’t dissipate just because perfume is poured upon turds.

I made it a hypothetical for those reasons. Not that we would ever do it. Wink, Wink, It would be wrong and we want to play fair just like dems do.

The trick would be to post as crazy stuff as possible, but not too much to flag attention. The examples I gave would not be questioned, a post on reparations would start a fight and flag attention.

You have to study democrats to defeat them

Sickoflibs - we ALL have legitimate complaints with Republicans. Remember when President Bush nominated Harriet Myers? This place went nuts over that - what was Bush thinking? That's different than the trolls who come here. IF the government is paying people to disrupt our ability to assemble - our ability as citizen to peacefully gather and discuss our political beliefs - then they are like Hitler's brown shirts. They are worse than ACORN's criminals. And they need to be found and sued and exposed in every way possible.

If they're here they're professionals - posting as teams - posting high on threads - fulfilling straw man fantasies dems have of conservatives... I feel that they're the equivalent of Hitler's brown shirts - and much more dangerous than most people believe. The kids who do this think it's a lark - and so much fun - but behind them are people who know - and those people are dangerous.

"Like the ones on here that spend hours and hours on end refuting the BC. Why waste your time? If you think everything is fine with the BC, why bother? UNLESS you are on the other side. It makes no sense, unless they are just attention whores that like to copy and paste and argue, call other FReepers names(like idiot, etc.) and disrupt the thread."

I no more need to justify why I post on birther threads than you do. You birthers think you have the right to post things without being disputed, and anyone that disputes you is a troll working for Obama. That's absurd, as anyone with any sense knows. What issues don't get disputed on FR? What is it you think happens on this site? Geez.

Seems to me that people that had confidence in their opinions wouldn't be so uptight about others disagreeing.

BTW, the name calling comes from the birthers. A lot of you immediately resort to it at the first contrary opinion.

Eh....I could name about half a dozen, right off the top of my head. And another even dozen of ‘questionable’ ones.

Since lefties always accuse us of doing what they’ve been doing all along, my presumption that some are paid operatives looks more like reality than supposition ...especially considering this new revelation.

Posting here now would have very limited effect. This site is not a Republican website, unlike democrats.com which is a website with censorship rules about opposing democrats. Anti-democrat is the trend now.

If I was to profile one of these posters, I would guess they would be the crackpots that talk hypothetically about military coups or Obama’s death. That is why I always make fun on the nuts(and get called an Obama appeaser) , and there is no way to tell the true nuts from the rats.

Because it's so much fun laughing at Birther's like you.

You got to see it both ways and were able to judge what to do. It’s a neat gif.

Tax payer dollars funding trolls to troll on FR? Is that really news? Been happening since before I joined.

Right, Mr. clinton (lower case on purpose)?
