Goodbye, Right Wing trolls
I can't say it's been a pleasure, but you lost, despite your sometimes-clever imitation tactics. I'm sure it must hurt to miss your opportunity to publicly unmask amid sadistic laughter, but you'll recover. I wish you the best of luck in your new assignment; trying to round up the conservatives and convince them that McCain somehow represents them and they should donate to his or the RNCC's campaign. That's going to be a tough one. I'll understand if some of you defect to Bob Barr, just so you can feel valued again.

I myself have been inspired by your example. Since California's state Republican party is in the advanced stages of disintegration (to the point that it's consistently rejecting its one success story of recent years, Arnold Schwarzenegger, because he's too liberal), I'm thinking of getting a haircut and carrying out a little political sabotage of my own. I shall certainly reflect on the many tricks and techniques I have learned from observing you over recent months whenever I get the opportunity to mess with the heads of republicans here.

9. I might go for a prosthetic hand or something. I'd prefer to minimize physical contact.
Actually, I have serious ethical reservations about messing with the GOP in this way, even on a local level. I have an aversion to such political strategems. On the other hand, the GOP don't really deserve any better, and it would make for an entertaining acting challenge.

47. you're right
and of course, I've seen posts on FR where trolls say they donate something like five bucks to get a star over here so no one will suspect that they're trolls

having a star means nothing

44. I looked - most Hillary donors were hard core Democrats
I wasted a few hours looking through Hillary's biggest donors in April trying to find hard core Republicans. I didn't find any. They all appeared to be sincere Democrats, who have donated to many Dems in the past. (That was very different from Nader's last campaign.)

20. You're almost as new as the OP; what color was your kool-aid, and do you smoke or snort your tweek?
Pot, meet kettle. :eyes:

And when I think of all the right-wing trolls I won't be missing here, guess who is at the head of the line?

Have another drink. :toast:

7. To read, good information on GD. To join up, lies on GD-P.
I was most disappointed to see people repeating the sort of BS I usually hear from RWers and directing their efforts at Obama, who I decided to support about a year ago. And being an ex-journalist and subeditor I'm pretty good at both research and correcting inaccuracies. Think of me as a member of the unofficial cleaning squad.

Sorry, but you seem like a hateful person based on everything I've read over the last 6 months. Not being liked by you suits me just fine.

19. you weren't channeling ed McMahon were you lol
McMahon fighting foreclosure on Beverly Hills home

LOS ANGELES - For years, Ed McMahon promised wealth, comfort and happiness as a pitchman for the American Family Publishers' sweepstakes. Now, he could use some of that cash himself.


The former sidekick to Johnny Carson on the "Tonight" show is in danger of losing his multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills home to foreclosure. Documents show that McMahon is nearly $644,000 behind in payments on a $4.8 million mortgage loan he got in 2005. Countrywide Home Loans Inc. filed the notice of default on Feb. 28, with the amount owed to "increase until your account becomes current," according to documents obtained by Celebtv.com.

43. It is worth unmasking them now
I thought of doing some research to try to unmask the most horrible trolls who have been spreading disunity over the last week. Is it worth the effort now? Or will they move on?

DU needs to set up some process to identify these people, and to at least limit the number of times they can post in a day.

45. If 2004 is any precedent, they will unmask themselves,
and a lot of people who consider themselves to be the great intellects of DU will have been taken in by them.

Just ask any longtime DUer about seventhson.

46. Smithers... bring me my Karl Rove squeaky toy
Yes.. you have discovered us.. but we will persist! Karl Rove is meeting with us tomorrow in a dank, dark corner of the old West Wing. We love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. We are planning our next jihad, which will be an assault on the National Conventions. Our provocateurs are now busy, getting our costumes and our signs ready. Oh.. it will be glorious.. the ultimate in conservative agitprop. We will Swift-boat, we'll lie, we'll throw plastic lapel pins by the thousands until Fox news pundits foam at the mouth and TV Evangelists collapse on stage in a gigantic orgasmic seizure of red, white and blue. (pant.. pant..pant...) Then.. Our secret weapon... ssshhh... make sure no one is listening... don't tell a soul... then we bring out our giant 40-foot-tall helium balloon bust of Ronald Reagan. (Just like the one used in the Macy's Thanksgiving-Day parade.) We'll parade through the convention hall and into the streets and libruls will fall to their knees in shock and awe.. or is it Schlock and awe? errr.. ahh... I mean...
