FEC filings for CTR (Hilary's paid troll army)
Federal Elections Commission ^ | 10/17/16 | fec.gov

Posted on 10/17/2016 7:29:30 AM PDT by proust

Here is the FEC filing for Correct The Record, Hillary's Internet Troll Army. Did you know Rob Reiner (Meathead) gets paid $10,000 to trash Trump on TV?

CTR has virtually destroyed 4chan's political board (No small feat) and has wormed it's way into Reddit's The_Donald board.

This might not mean much to longtime freepers, but I see that they are having a devastating affect online with young people in this election.

I would wager that there are more young people getting their eyes opened than those this touches/polls.

It’s tough to say. These people are relentlessly posting Tokyo Rose style content. A few weeks back they seemed like a joke, but they have picked up speed and momentum unlike any propaganda I’ve seen online in my 20 years of internet access.

The “hoax” article about CTR got pulled here for good reason, but it does illustrate some of the tactics that are actively being used.

Any so called Republican that does not (fully) support Trump is a Rat operative for Clinton.

That is what I thought, too bad it got pulled.

Can’t be right. There are so many of them, not even counting the 1/2 sibs from all the ex-spouses and the wealthy-in-their-own-right spouses/step-parents, it comes out to about $100/each. One of the 4th generation alone could easily give this much.

Your source would be appreciated.

What was the "hoax" article?

The article had a list of troll tactics used by CTR. It was supposedly an internal manual on how to troll online. It had misspellings and wasn’t part of the wikileaks dump as claimed.

People were pointing to it as proof of CTR, but its origin was dubious at best. That’s why I posted the FEC doc, to prove that CTR isn’t some boogeyman. It does exist. Outside FR, other Trump forums are under HEAVY, constant shilling. Free Republic has a bit of a moat that keeps it from being affected much.
