Norman Goldman had a good point about right wing trolls

I have no doubt that we get trolled. I have seen "conservatives" at their goonish sites bragging about it. If they're calling into Norman's show, trolling him, then they are here whipping up discord and discontent among us.

So where are our legions of liberals trolling their low information, dumb asses?

I don't believe in misrepresenting myself. If I went to one of their sites, I'd have to be who I am.

While I agree with not misrepresenting myself, we need to effectively counter this tactic either defensively or offensively.

here realizes that no argument will ever be so good that it will change the minds of that kind of person. Strictly for those who enjoy wrestling in sewer sludge for its own sake.

actually is, certainly far, far older than the Bible. 5000 years? 10,000? More?
