Have you gotten your George Bush ozone-spotting goggles so you know where to point the can?

Not me. I starve children.

I prefer to turn elderly folks out of their homes into the streets, especially during winter.

Eligibility threads have been plagued by trolls for years. The most notorious is Jamese777.

Like clockwork.

What burns my biscuits is that the troll in question doesn’t even make a superficial effort to pretend to be a conservative. Never, not once. It’s as if saying one good thing about conservatism or one bad thing about Obama would kill him. Maybe it would. If I were an Obot, I suppose it would kill me to criticize him, too.

Agree. There isn’t a conservative bone in his body and he works many other websites posting the same thing over and over again, defending the one. Definitely a troll. 110% positive.

They are out in force and expect it get worse as there are more paid Obots as the 2012 elections get nearer.

How Obama’s Internet Campaign Changed Politics
By CLAIRE CAIN MILLER
The Obama campaign’s use of the Internet has been cited as playing a large role in upending how presidential races are fought. (Credit: Peter Wynn Thompson for The New York Times)
One of the many ways that the election of Barack Obama as president has echoed that of John F. Kennedy is his use of a new medium that will forever change politics. For Mr. Kennedy, it was television. For Mr. Obama, it is the Internet.
“Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not be president. Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not have been the nominee,” said Arianna Huffington, editor in chief of The Huffington Post.
She spoke Friday about how politics and Web 2.0 intersect on a panel with Joe Trippi, a political consultant, and Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco, at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. (Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich had been invited to balance out the left-leaning panel, but declined, according to John Battelle, a chair of the conference.)
Howard Dean’s 2004 campaign -– which was run by Mr. Trippi –- was groundbreaking in its use of the Internet to raise small amounts of money from hundreds of thousands of people. But by using interactive Web 2.0 tools, Mr. Obama’s campaign changed the way politicians organize supporters, advertise to voters, defend against attacks and communicate with constituents.
Mr. Obama used the Internet to organize his supporters in a way that would have in the past required an army of volunteers and paid organizers on the ground, Mr. Trippi said.
“The tools changed between 2004 and 2008. Barack Obama won every single caucus state that matters, and he did it because of those tools, because he was able to move thousands of people to organize.”
Mr. Obama’s campaign took advantage of YouTube for free advertising. Mr. Trippi argued that those videos were more effective than television ads because viewers chose to watch them or received them from a friend instead of having their television shows interrupted.
“The campaign’s official stuff they created for YouTube was watched for 14.5 million hours,” Mr. Trippi said. “To buy 14.5 million hours on broadcast TV is $47 million.”
There has also been a sea change in fact-checking, with citizens using the Internet to find past speeches that prove a politician wrong and then using the Web to alert their fellow citizens.
The John McCain campaign, for example, originally said that Governor Sarah Palin opposed the so-called bridge to nowhere in Alaska, Ms. Huffington said. “Online there was an absolutely obsessive campaign to prove that wrong,” she said, and eventually the campaign stopped repeating it.
“In 2004, trust me, they would have gone on repeating it, because the echo chamber would not have been as facile,” Ms. Huffington said.
The Internet also let people repeatedly listen to the candidates’ own words in the face of attacks, Mr. Huffington said. As Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s incendiary words kept surfacing, people could re-watch Mr. Obama’s speech on race. To date, 6.7 million people have watched the 37-minute speech on YouTube.
The Internet also changes the way politicians govern. Mr. Newsom learned that last year when he ran for re-election. He showed up at a rally and didn’t see the usual crowd. His aides told him the audience was made up of his Facebook friends. “I said, ‘What’s Facebook?’” Mr. Newsom recalled.
These days, Mr. Newsom is “obsessed with Facebook.” It strengthens his connection with his constituents and their connection with the causes they care about, he said.
The constant exposure can, of course, turn against politicians.
Ms. Huffington’s “off the bus” team of 10,000 citizen journalists caught candidates saying things that embarrassed them later, like Mr. Obama’s “guns and religion” remark. Now, she said, “there is no off-the-record fund-raiser.”
Mr. Newsom says he is fearful of the constant need to watch his tongue. “I have to watch myself singing, ‘I left my heart in San Francisco’ on YouTube and it can’t go away. I am desperate to get it to go away,” he said dryly.
“There will be a lot of collateral damage coming to grips with the fact that we’re in a reality TV series, ‘Politics 24/7,’” Mr. Newsom said.
That’s a good thing, Mr. Trippi said. “This medium demands authenticity, and television for the most part demanded fake. Authenticity is something politicians haven’t been used to.”
He predicted that this real-time Internet contact with constituents will also change the way the president of the United States governs. He recently proposed that Mr. Obama start a Web site called MyWhiteHouse.gov to talk with citizens. (Mr. Obama just started a different site, Change.gov, on Thursday to keep in touch with people during the transition.)
“When Congress refuses to go with his agenda, it’s not going to be just the president” they oppose, Mr. Trippi said. It will be the president and his huge virtual network of citizens.
“Just like Kennedy brought in the television presidency, I think we’re about to see the first wired, connected, networked presidency,” Mr. Trippi said.

Agree; he is a total troll. I will give him this much, however. He’s never claimed to be a conservative. That is the one insult he hasn’t added to his countless Obot injuries: he’s never asked us to believe him over our ‘lyin’ eyes, by making a claim we all know isn’t true.

Here’s one of my favorites:

http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/

GREAT blog, far better read than liberal lie machines. Seriously!

Commie one commie all: In Obama’s Image

I really believe things just happen like Obama stealing the United States’ Presidency in 2008 without absolutely no help at all.

After all, that Obama Twitter Revolution on Iran sure deposed old Ahmandinejad didn’t it? How’d that Tianamen Square protest turn out for the Peking whores there Chinaman?

Amazing isn’t it cousin Odinga burns down a few occupied Churches in Kenya and all of a sudden he is Marxist leader there without the government arresting his terror ass.

You do know that the Bush’s worked out a bribe deal to get Saddam Hussein out of Iraq, but Saddam turned it down don’t you?

What I’m laying out here is a very interesting scenario which is moving through the north African and Mediterranean region which is most interesting as in Tunisia their elected dictator had to flee the nation, but his security forces are still firing at the revolutionaries.
This has now spread to Obama’s exile in waiting home state of Albania where the elected tyrant there is fighting for his life in denouncing a Tunisian style coup.

In checking who loves the coup, we find the Green communists of Europe love it, while the normal fascists of the EU are calling for calm. We find Khadaffi, Obama’s British Petroleum oil drilling buddy is denouncing the ouster of the elected despot..........while the Obama regime seems quite quiet.
Now that wouldn’t be the same John Kerry all over Africa like a tick on a buffalo’s balls now would it, in keeping Muslim butchers in power if they hold elections in the Sudan to hand over the oil to Obama?

From the beginning of this, I noted that Obama with that sexy Susan Rice at the UN were a bit too colonial in intentions in Africa and while Obama was destined to form his own little empire there in overthrowing states, Obama has instead embarked upon a most interesting central European cartel agenda of South American narco communist coke flying into Africa, being handled by al Qaeda Islamocommunists on their own fleet of Boeing planes, to embark upon transfer into Spain and the Balkans..........

Oh yes, the Balkans, home of Albania, a spook spy base for the cartel and now by mystery a revolution if forming there.

Things just happen doncha know.

I was looking at the new leader of Tunisia in one Fouad Mebassa, a French educated revolutionary, while not going into details of parties like Neo Destour, the only thing that matters is France created the Baathist communist movement, and when one finds out that Neo Destour is a National Socialist movement and Sali Berisha of Albania is now being pressured by Albanian Socialists to topple his government.............well isn’t that just a coincidence that Obama is a socialist communist, Tunisia just got a dose of socialism, the back door to the Obama coke trade into Europe is having socialist uprisings.......and it all just keeps ticking with communist Hamas, communist Hezbollah just overthrowing the Lebanese government, communist Iran.....and gee whiz we even find that someone was blowing up things in Syria for old dictator Assad who Obama has been having relations with.

Now this all starts looking like, appearing like, seeming like someone is spreading the means, opportunity, backing and cash to overthrow key places in North Africa, Greece has been mail bombing it’s way into more fun, Lebanon and Syria are having interesting new years, and there is John Kerry in Sudan involved in that war there.

Don’t really see any Bolsheviks or Maoists in this mix, just hints of Obamites trolling about the edges in a new world order that is now focused on a new dynamic control of Club Med.

North Africa for the most part was inhabited by stable Islamic pro American regimes. Seems like another Obama miracle that all of a sudden there is all this chaos taking place.........just like in Albania which was one of the more stable thugocracies in the international mafia.

Sort of is a changing of the order isn’t it.

What fun is in store in Brzezinski installing the son of Khomeini so the west will have a half dozen nuclear armed turban head regimes of communism?

Leaders just do not flee unless a whole lot of leverage from important cartel folks backed by a whole lot of Obama folks doing the pushing. The Shah did not leave without Carter, Brzezinski and those communist stooges at MI6 doing the revolution to install a communist Ayatollah.

Someone is playing with the Mediterranean chessboard in stoking Greece, going after Berlisconni in Italy, and now it is regime upheaval all across the connecting dots........and it all stated out aimed at Benjamin Netanyahu, a conservative Jew, at odds with Ehud Barak, Barack Hussein Obama’s favorite secular socialist Jew.

Commie one commie all, you’ll be living in Obama Mom Jeans, Obama no fault all purpose genes. No more nasty lines or crinkles no more elections from the people, you’ll be living in better fitting genes.

All coincidence and no miracles here.

Oh yes, Nic Sarkozy wouldn’t still be backing Obama for something President Sarkozy is interested in now would he?

LOL! I thought the same thing. I don’t consider people that disagree with me to be trolls. Most are NOT. However, I do a thorough search of all past posts, all the way back to when they first joined FR. If I yell troll, I have the evidence to back it up.

Laz, just in case you’re wondering what Surstromming is, I happen to know. (danamco filled me in.) It’s rotted/fermented herring that stinks so horribly, evidently only Swedes have the stomach to eat. Even then, it requires lots of Schnapps to wash it down. To quote one guy on a video I watched, it’s like “eating the a*****e of a dead skunk”.

So now you know about Surstromming. ;)
