"You're correct that people should not assume that "Octabots" all have the same motive or are a monolithic group."

I don't see much that differentiates one from the other to be honest. I don't see any kind of spectrum in their rhetoric.

What I meant is that a few might literally be "paid shills," while others, probably most, are probably sincere and unpaid. Among those who are sincere, whether paid for their work or not, motives could vary from a love of Bush to the defense of what one sees as a proper leftist agenda.

You are correct that there isn'm much of a "spectrum" in that they are all defending essentially the same story.
