I truly pity the poor imbeciles who are seduced by that crap. Alas, the future was never theirs anyway...

Yep. Heck, a large percentage of Obamugabe and Hitlery’s Twitter followers don’t even exist. They’re accounts generated from “click farms” that boost, for a price, someone’s following.

I believe a lot of those hashtags “trending” are from similarly spurious accounts.

I'll bet you can't think of a dog's name that has an "A" in it ... 95% of the people fail !

There then follows about a half a million replies

The tactic is real and it's working


Don't doubt me on this .... read my tagline.

I wasn't the first to identify the cause..

Autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the governing system both mistakenly and deliberately attacks and destroys healthy body politic.

But I think I am the first to ID the primary cause. It is caused by unstable radicals and includes disruption of the body's homeostasis.

The system gets overwhelmed by aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litters occupying government buildings in Washington.

I don’t follow the Waco threads but it is doubtful that a government troll will defend the government. They are going to be a lot more subtle than that.

Even knowing it they still fall for it.

A perfect example is the belief people have that there is no connection between the attack in Benghazi and the protest in Egypt.

For 2 weeks Hillary and everyone in the Obama WH repeated the attack in Benghazi was a “spontaneous” response to a protest over a video started in Egypt.

Every time it was repeated there were people on the right repeating “there is no connection”.

Congress had it’s hearing on Benghazi and low and behold the big finding was “there is no connection” between the protest in Egypt and the attack in Benghazi.

In reality the attack was planned then the protest over the video was planned with the specific purpose of creating the “spontaneous” lie as part of the cover up of providing terrorist with weapons.

Another example is Hillary’s email server security was so lax anyone, even the terrorist at Benghazi, could have hacked into Hillary’s email and that is how they knew Stevens was going to be in Benghazi on that particular day.

People ate it up and repeated over and over again.

Now we have people repeating over and over again Hillary was so lacking in tech savvy she couldn’t even fax so obviously Hillary couldn’t possibly know anything about email security.

We also have people repeating over and over Hillary was so out of the loop Obama didn’t even inviter her to cabinet meetings.

If she was completely out of the loop she couldn’t possibly have had anything to do with Benghazi.

People are being played for fools with the release of Hillary’s emails.

There is a strategy in releasing those emails and it’s to create a defense for Benghazi.

“Any thoughts?”

Everytime we have something like Waco or Joe Paterno boy sex case the supporters of the guilty will blast the blogs with their propanda!

Bikers are just nice family men.

Sandusky didn’t rape little boys.

Paterno had never heard of boy rape before the Sandusky episode.

On and On .....

The LIVs haven’t figured out the world is a stage and the politicians are merely actors playing a part

The problem is a lot of people don’t want to be seen by others as the odd guy out.

They choose to be part of the group think because the thinking of the entire group couldn’t be wrong so I must be wrong.

People need to get over their desire to be “liked” by other people, especially people they don’t have any personal one on one relation with.

Nobody wants to think for themselves, it’s easier if others do the thinking and they just repeat what they say.

Also as long as the mouths with a microphone in front of there face are the one’s leading the pack getting people to believe the nonsense the nonsense will continue.

Talk radio is a great place to get information but use that information to come to your own conclusion not repeat the conclusion of the radio host.

And the fact that we are not actively and in coordination fighting this is shame on us.

MANY MANY TIMES in Years Past I have directed my RIDICULE at such people on OTHER FORUMS.

They become utterly flummoxed when presented with stuff that FORCES them to LAUGH at their folly and that of their HEROES
