"From the comments: 'My theory is that a lot of the creepy freepers who post on lefty sites are just low-level right-out-of-college cubicle jockeys at right wing think-tanks. They're getting paid to skulk around and regurgitate winger talking points. Just a theory of course. Have you ever noticed that a lot of them tend to post a lot during business hours and then disappear on the weekends? I guess that's when their busy date-raping one another ...' I've noticed this a lot over at the HuffPo. There seem to be a couple of people whose job it is to just jump in and leave right-wing talking points at the top of every thread. It doesn't happen if you post at night, and then they won't show up until business hours the next day." http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/ Firedoglake provides a link to this poster comment at The Washington Monthly: "Hey guys, I interviewed for a guerilla marketing business that targeted web forums. I was told that if I accepted the job, I was to have at LEAST 50 identities on as many forums as I could muster (they wanted 100 eventually), with a goal of 5 posts an hour. The posts had to be well thought out, and the idea was that I was to establish multiple identities with a history on the forums, so that when the timing was right a well written but subtly placed marketing post could be finessed in. And regular visitors would recognize the post as coming from a long time poster. They had 12 people working there full time, and were hiring 10 more. You do the math. No wait, I'll do it for you: that's 880 posts a day (if minimum was met). However he said the better ones could do around 8 or 10 an hour. And they had different "verticals" so there was the sports guy, and the politics guy, the hentai, excuse me I mean anime guy, etc. But the most critical point was this: develop and integrate the identity. No random "HEY SONY IS AWESOME BUY THIS" stuff. Kinda spooky. P.S. Five posts AN HOUR? Sound like anyone you know..."

I was skeptical, but no more!

Closer to 5 posts a minute!! .. Internet propaganda is important stuff! I wonder if the posters mentioned have gotten in touch with their feminine side with any of their identities ?? :P
I understand Badeye is working on a new identity to be called "Babe-eye".
ROFLMAO~!
Zipporah, what a pleasant surprise: a picture of Mrs. Badeye! Thanks for pinging people to this thread. I really want EVERYONE to know this. I realize that most or all people here have already been told, but there may be the occasional slow, skeptical, person, such as I was... and they need to ACCEPT the fact that Butteye and BeACheney are nothing more than PAID SHILLS.
And doncha just love the studded collar? ROTFLMAO!
George Bush's political career will be over in 2008 when he will retire to Rancho Borracho and spend his autumnal years clearing brush, golfing, and racing Our Dear Laura to see who drinks themselves into oblivion first before Jenna and NotJenna start squeezing out another generation of old money gypsies, tramps, and thieves. But other Republicans want to hang onto their phoney-baloney jobs, at least until they can secure a high-paying job where they can trade on their putative "pull" in Washington for a high-paying gig like notorious failure John Engler from Michigan." I just had to call your attention to one of the funniest descriptions I've seen in a blog lately. I especially liked the designation of Bush's Texas estate as "Rancho Borracho", which means "Drunk Ranch".
