1. Watched this last night on tv. Rachel did an excellent job explaining this and...

she (as usual) is correct. She is TV's best ever explainer!!! I luv her!

[Scuba]

2. K&R Excellent expose' of "Outrage Politics".

3. Herman Cain doesn't quite fit with the others

someone, maybe Rachel herself, called him a performance artist, I think that is more fitting.

4. Dragging bait behind a boat is actually "trawling"

A boat equipped especially for this purpose is called a "trawler".

Your fact for the day.

6. Dragging a lure through the water, from a boat, is

trolling. Trawling is more of a net thing. That's been my experience anyway.

13. And if you had given us the definition for trolling.

From:http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=post&forum=1017&pid=92605

Trolling:
3. to fish for or in with a moving line, working the line up or down with a rod, as in fishing for pike, or trailing the line behind a slow-moving boat.

4. to move (the line or bait) in doing this.

9. to fish by trolling.

13. the act of trolling.

14. a lure used in trolling for fish.

Maybe it's a matter of whether you live near the ocean or inland waterways?

15. I think WhoIsNumberNone thought the net thing applied to recreational fishermen

I don't think it matters where one lives. It is the tools they use and whether they are commercial or recreational fishing. In WhoIsNumberNone's definition it applied to the use of nets and even buoys. Your definition did not include the use of either but is the term used by non-commerical/recreational fisherman and one they use.

18. I think you are right, it's commercial vs. recreational. n/t

7. Best RM clip of 2013 to date!

9. So why dignify these a*** H**es with a response?

[zeemike]

10. Best damn explanation of trolling ever.

Damn she is good at getting to the meat of things.

11. Thank you Rachel.

If more people would just not react to these trolls, they would lose a lot of their power.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. I always tell trolls,...

....forget my brother.

Eat ME.

[JoePhilly]

14. I think it is time for a MEME ...

We need to give the RW nuts jobs troll hair and post it everywhere.

[LiberalFighter]

16. Man I would love for the troll to appear whenever one of them show up on tv or here.

[LiberalFighter]

17. Watching my tivo shows and she is on right now with the troll.

I wish more people saw this.

[MrMickeysMom]

19. Here's an idea...

Little trolls.... I'd keep some on hand for a troll encounter.

I used to have my own Troll Dolls, right around the pre-teen age in the 60's.

But, I think someone should make a small version of these, nothing that would be projectile when thrown like confetti... Just a nice way to recognize these bozos in person.
