THE NEXT BIG THING (liberal Media Matters hiring intern trolls)

Please read about Breitbart's opening salvo against John Podesta and Media Matters.

This is not paranoia. Media Matters, a Soros outfit, is hiring "interns" to come on conservative forums and try to sow division, slow down momentum, forment confusion. And they are better at it than they used to be. They don't curse and swear like liberals on their own forums do.

[Bitsy]

Daily Kos freaks, Move-On freaks and the biggest freak Soros are morally bankrupt, lock step communists, Republic hating, fools who will ALL pay the price one day for their evil deeds today. I just hope I am around to see it happen - am I wrong to hope for that? ;)

[Sarah Barracuda]

HeHe, yeah..they are called “Concern trolls” coming here showing their “Concern” for someone, either Sarah Palin, or someone else, when in reality they can care less. You can just see the venom from these low lives, they have nothing better to do then troll here and trash someone

[Mamzelle]

Some "tells"--when my BSometer goes off, I immediately check join-date. 1) Many are right around early fall, 2004. This would be just before the Kerry defeat, and was when I started getting a lot of garbage from Moveon.

2) Some of the Palin Deranged may be Romneybots, but they could also be pretending to be Romneybots. Any true Romney people should keep an eye out for these, because they'll hurt Romney as well as Palin (full disclosure, I held my nose and voted for Mitt in the primary, Thompson was already making dropout noises)

3) They have new rhetorical tells. I suggest reading this thread

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2463717/posts

to get a feel for the newer style.

4) Listen for posts that start out--"I love Sarah Palin, too, but she just doesn't have enough education or experience" and other memes. "I am concerned"

Oh lookie - Andy’s gotta stalker! ;)

[Sarah Barracuda]

A list would be a great idea, unfortunately I’m not good at spotting the trolls, when I see nasty posts, I automatically think they are RomneyBots or Ron Paul supporters, never did it come to mind these could be media matter fools being hired to come here and cause trouble

[jim macomber]

Had to laugh. One of the stated qualifications:

Excellent written skills

[Lazamataz]

We've had 12 years experience zotting trolls.

Color me unimpressed.

[Mamzelle]

How effective? Kos manage to keep a tea party from meeting at a Lutheran church.

I think it is a calculated pushback against momentum. Suppose our momentum could be quantified at a number..50...suppose they just aim to shave a couple of percentage points off that?

[Lazamataz]

I am going to apply for one of these jobs. Imagine getting PAID to be on Free Republic. LOL

[Sarah Barracuda]

Your right. I have fell for it as well, thinking they are RomneyBots. I don’t like Romney, but even I don’t think he’s a bad person, I just disagree with him politically(especially about RomneyCare) yeah whenever you see a post saying “I like Sarah Palin but...” the second you see the word “but” you know its a troll, or someone pretending to be concerned about her

[pburgh01]

Glad this sorta stuff doesn’t happen here at Free Republic. /s

Here is the DU\MoveON.org troll MO

• "Hey newbie get lost, you are such a pollyana!"
• "The Pubbies and RINOS are so feckless, it's hopeless, might as well stock up on ammunition"
• "The country is going downa socialist path and nothing we can do to stop it, good luck rolling back any entitlement."
• "What good does showing up at some rally"

Also

• Spammming every thread with a common theme and catharticlly whining the same bilge, just reworded.
• Trying to suspiciously create online Freeper friends who think like you to excoriate people who think differently than you, such as the negative nellies ganging up in a thread on a poster who does not share your doom and gloom view of things.

It’s funny you say that. I get a kick out of the seminar callers to talk radio hosts.....and I can pick up on them in just their tone of voice. Always sarcastic. Dead giveaway.

[Mamzelle]

It could be Kos trolls pretending to support Paul or Romney. Now, isn’t that useful! Get everyone here mad at everyone. If Romney has thought about doing this, someone please warn him to stop. It’ll backlash against him. Romney isn’t most our first choice, but if he’s damaged, we all end up with some damage.

[Mamzelle]

Our zotting parties usually involved trolls in poor disguise.

[Mamzelle]

It's be cool to have a mole inside MM.

It'd be GREAT to have a mole inside MM!! There's an investigative job for Breitbart!

[Drango]

FR has capacitors?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Exactly! That is what they want, Romney supporters clashing with Palin supporters clashing with Ron Paul supporters. They want to break us up, it won’t work. I have nothing against Romney supporters, they can support whoever they want, I just disagree with them, but whenever I read the childish crap calling Sarah names, you just know its a nasty troll because a TRUE Republican would NEVER bad mouth another Republican. We all have to stick together and remember who the REAL enemy is

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

They will be easy to spot. Liberals can’t disguise themselves very well. They’re the whining, self-pitying, self-loathing, lying losers. (other than that, they’re really nice people)

re: They will be easy to spot. Liberals can’t disguise themselves very well. They’re the whining, self-pitying, self-loathing, lying losers. (other than that, they’re really nice people)))

Generally speaking, yes. But they can be given talking points, taught to be "concerned" rather than confrontational.

[drubyfive]

Do you mean that they gain experience that opens future career opportunities? That is not pay.
