Be nice to Hillary Clinton online — or risk a confrontation with her super PAC
Los Angeles Times ^ | originally May 9, 2016 | Evan Halper

WWhen the Internet’s legions of Hillary hecklers steal away to chat rooms and Facebook pages to vent grievances about Clinton, express revulsion toward Clinton and launch attacks on Clinton, they now may find themselves in a surprising place – confronted by a multimillion dollar super PAC working with Clinton.

Hillary Clinton's well-heeled backers have opened a new frontier in digital campaigning, one that seems to have been inspired by some of the Internet's worst instincts. Correct the Record, a super PAC coordinating with Clinton's campaign, is spending some $1 million to find and confront social media users who post unflattering messages about the Democratic front-runner....

“That is what the Clinton campaign has always been about," he said. "It runs the risk of being exactly what their opponents accuse them of being: a campaign that appears to be populist but is a smokescreen that is paid and brought to you by lifetime political operatives and high-level consultants.”

The task force designed to stop the spread of online misinformation and misogyny is the brainchild of David Brock, a Clinton confidant who once made a career of spreading such misinformation...

An oldie but goodie from May 2016, and something to bear in mind if you click on an article with comments and get flamed, or overwhelmed with propaganda. It may be bought and paid for by Crooked Hillary.

Find out who some of them are specifically, and call them out / target them individually.

No wonder a number of current events sites are closing their comments section much more often or are setting a “flagging system” in order for Clintoned paid trolls to get reported.

I think they’re working away on my local rag’s comment section. They come out in force spewing the exact same sentences that you’ll hear from Blabbermouth Shultz or any other of Hillary apologists.

Check out Daily Mail for example, where 1,000-7,000 down Trump approving arrows appear on the “best Rated” in minutes, hell seconds.

It’s hard to tell if the libs all spew the same talking points because they are “fed” them, or because they are too lazy to research issues and develop their own points of view, so they just repeat whatever is on CNN and Facebook. This latter has been my experience with my very few remaining liberal friends.

I love the DM comments section. It is one of the remaining places where people can up or down arrow a comment anonymously. Sort of a grassroots opinion monitor. Every day there are posts claiming the paper is “too liberal” or “too conservative”, depending on the article, the author, the point of view expressed or the “community” affected by or enthusiastic about the topic.

Naturally DM has filters and they remove many comments unfavorable to certain groups, but articulate posters often find a way to say what they mean in roundabout words, and then the up or down arrows flood in.

I suspect that the Clinton Cabal won’t get much traction on FR!

The wikileaks confirmed they are anything but populist. Big money globalist fixers. Effectively screwed the populist Bernie.
