Its no surprise.

Propaganda minister Cass Sunstein wrote a paper on the techniques when he was at Columbia university years ago.

The Government listening to our private phone conversations and email and using paid shills to manipulate public opinion on the Internet? Why, only tin foil hat wearing, moonbat kooks believe that rot! The nutters have been spouting that nonsense for years.

I wonder who the FR agent is...

Ohhhh, I so hope the next Repub Prez turns Obama's policies on Dems! I hope he/she has a plan to remove/marginalize all Dem operatives at all levels of every agency; root them out or move them to jobs/locations they hate and won't be able to subvert the cleansing process.

Yeah, like that'll ever happen. We play too nice.....

America has become one big re-education camp.

FTA: “Ultimately, Glenn had a simple message for his listeners and viewers: When you come across someone who appears to be a troll – don’t engage.

“I’m not saying this for any other reason than you have to be extraordinarily careful on what you look at. When you read, especially comments sections, it is easy to get the view that ‘wow, I’m kind of alone,’” Glenn explained. So I want you to understand that’s what’s happening… You fight fire with water… If you know the game they are playing, when you see things like that, don’t engage. Just don’t engage… You have to understand it and then fight fire with water.”

I was just looking at the comments on an article about the terrorists who became an Obamacare navigator and noticed that the big troll there was almost totally ignored. No matter how obnoxious he barely got any replies and the 2 he did were to tell him to go away.

I’ve stopped a couple of trolls recently by asking them to list what fatass did at Secretary of State that would justify her being promoted to POTUS. No answer.

Somebody on this forum has been saying that I am paranoid. Now who is it?

using paid shills to manipulate public opinion on the Internet

Ancient tactic using modern tools. In the progressive era they were the four minute men who just had something to say and the handful of people placed throughout a crowd to appear numerous and agree. Saul Alinsky called it the diamond technique. Unions still use it today.

"Ellie Light" posted here at FR....and literally hundreds of other places nationwide. There's one who used to show up in every thread about the national popular vote to pimp it with paragraphs long responses that came only seconds apart. I did some searching and found the exact words posted in over 120 different places.

Hmmm, I dunno… Thompson seems like such a stand-up guy, I think the better bet is on that Robinson fellow.
