I sometimes go over to Fox News and their Discus comments section, following news stories and opinion pieces.
Usually, I see a large group of right-of-center people, interspersed by the occasional 'honest liberal' (defined to me as someone who believes in leftwing causes but isn't totally nuts) or a few moonbats.
However, today, following the Boehner-announced "House GOP Readies Ban on EPA Greenhouse Gas Regulations" article on Fox, I noticed that within hours the comment list had grown to 1900+, and many of these were vile, Democrat-underground-type moonbats, who declared things like "Republicans Worship Pollution" and other off-the-chain outrageous Chris-Matthews-type stuff.
It occurs to me: Are we beginning to see a Soros-funded Internet Onslaught of paid hacks who intend only to cause problems, spam with Marxist insults, troll all over, and so on? These guys have been going nonstop for hours now. It looks like they are paid.
There are a few things that should happen: 1) Fox should get off Discus for their comment section. They need a better moderated forum.
2) We should be aware of, and sensitive to, the creation of internet propwar brigades, funded by left-wing trusts and people like Soros.
3) We should keep a close eye on the influx of newbies and trolls to this, and other forums we are involved with.
I noticed this morning that all the comments functions at Fox News had been disabled.
Not me. I starve children.
You too can learn to work at home and earn thousands per month with just a computer and an Internet connection.

Thanks for reporting on this!
They need a much better system over there at Fox News.
Liberals are insane.
Nixon started the EPA
Nuts...and all I do is shoot whales when they swim by my boat to say hello.
I don’t see the comments section. What did you say to have them yank it?
Not me! I merely revere it.
Is there a right wind Soros-type place that would pay me to comment on web forums??? Where do I apply???
And, minority children at that.
That's right, we do! We have altars made of freshly-cut old-growth redwoods, on which we sacrifice radioactive baby seals that we club with frozen spotted owls! Then we roll in toxic sludge and release dioxins into the air, to celebrate! We haaaaate nature, and we are COMING FOR *YOU* NEXT! AHHHAHHHAHAHhHAHAHHAHH!!!!!!!!!"Lots of people on our side practically died laughing. :)
Sounds kool....but the big money is in racism.
Eligibility threads have been plagued by trolls for years. The most notorious is Jamese777. Go through his posting history, Laz, and you’ll go blind trying to find a single pro-conservative or Obama-critical post. After posting one single general comment upon joining, he spent ALL his time flogging Bush’s low and sinking approval numbers. Post-Bush, he’s spent all his time mocking, deriding and attempting to demoralize those who wish to see Obama’s long form BC.
It is true that he cut back on the really obnoxious, in-your-face insults after you got uber-troll TNTNT zotted, and he’s become more subtle in the pursuit of his goals. He hasn’t changed his stripes, though; he’s still a liberal troll, and most likely a paid one.
Fwiw.
Was one of the idiot posters named “Patriotgirl?”
Even the polls claiming to be scientific and impartial are commissioned by those with an agenda. Polls on the web are subscription bait and advertising measurements. The politicians pay only attention to poll results when our elections cast them out.
