"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!

There's nothing like seeing one of these shills get so pissed off that they out themselves, like our old "friend" Becky Saunders: I am paid to stay here and answer fools like you. Your actions harm the Troops. You might want to consider your actions-carefully. We will soon have a new AG. Becket Saunders posted on 2004-11-17 00:16:02 ET You should see that fuck-tard dance when you spend a week reminding him (and everyone else whose reading the thread) about it on every single thread he posts on.
Before the election these paid shills will step up the pace, like USMCVet on LP did.

Good stuff. What I also find amusing is how often he boasts about his house, Hummer, big-screen TV, surround-sound system, and DVD collection.

I didn't have to dig very far. I keep it handy to hang around his neck every chance I get.

The thing that he obviously doesn't realize is that 99.9% of the people who really do have money don't feel the need to brag about it several times each and day during business hours. Those who do either enherited or married it. Either way, people like him are like school on Saturday....no class.

I know for a fact that this has been the modus operandi for at least 3 to 5 years. This started during the Clinton Administration, when they were working to squelch the liberal vote, and the horrible horseshit that came after the failed election of Gore. When Free Republic had all those people out there railing on Al Gore, and I admit I was one of those people who was pissed he wouldn't just let it go, that's when they had surplus of cash. These people made a shitload of money, and continue to do so from the RNC. What I couldn't understand, is how several posters seemed to be on there 24/7, posting like mad, yet, talked about how they actually work. If I were these people's bosses, I'd be looking at how they're wasting company resources. I think it's even funnier still that in order to maintain their moral superiority, and classy image, that these political thinktanks have to hire braindead morons to regurgitate the same shit over and over again. Decency, and integrity used to be like chocolate. Good Chocolate sells itself. Even bad Chocolate sells itself. If you have to SELL someone an ideology, then perhaps your ideology isn't worth buying. Last time I checked, decency, and morality used to be a valued commodity. Now, the image of decency, and integrity is the commodity. Being a good, honest and moral person are all signs of weakness, and to be rebuked. THAT is the face of politics, always has been, always will be.

Now Axe, you know my policy on pinging people who aren't already posting on a thread while I'm doing the Silky-the-Pimp bitch slap on a ho like Becky....it would just make it look like I'm asking for help.

So true, so true... I'd better keep up with this shit! I'd better quit working so much and spend more time here ;-) (After I find a certain large quantity of gold, silver or other neat stuff...).

#40 is Zipporah. She's visiting me and she's on my laptop. She thought she was logged in as her, but for some reason, it was still my account.

Good job StarwindBE was begging for it. And I'll tell you he's no gentleman. I saw him be an ass to Palo Verde because she had a different from some people. Called her stupid etc. Sickened me really, to see such a corse and brutish attitude. But I guess that's not a personal attack in the world of BE and Goldi.

Appears as if Badeye's one and only job is posting on LP. Given that posting history, how could he possibly have time to do anything else?

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
