Are paid corporate shills trying to crowd out discussion of real issues

[Telly Savalas]

By flooding DU with whining about the new unrec feature?

[Arctic Dave]

1. No, they were doing it with the MJ post. Duh!

[leftstreet]

2. So corporations approve of the new UnRec feature?

:shrug:

I'm lost

[TexasObserver]

3. That certainly makes more sense than the stories being spun by We Hate Unrecommend Inc.

[valerief]

4. Uh, duh! Actually, I think some of them do it out of free hate. nt

[ShamelessHussy]

5. r u kidding me - lol

They get paid to do that no matter what the DU may be up to.

[Jim Sagle]

6. I dunno...has Al From taken a position on unrec yet?

;)

9. The rotund little closet Republican doesn't do anything without money involved.

[Laelth]

7. Oh, please. Pay me. I would love to be a corporate shill on this issue.

Rather than just someone who cares about DU. The shill gig would be much more rewarding, and it would make the constant attacks more bearable.

8. Just look at the lies by the corporates on health care & public option

10. The corporate lobbysists have been pushing the unrec feature

for years. They sit on corporate boards or in corporate jets, and have been plotting this strategy relentlessly. Their number one goal, over and above tax cuts, deregulation and relaxed labor enforcement, has been getting the unrec feature implemented at DU.

Resistance is futile.

11. What's scary is the fact that there's people here who probably believe that. (nt)

12. Good question. I've always wondered where people go to apply for these great jobs.

I mean really, who would hire someone to sit on their ass, eating cheetohs, and posting horseshit on the internet all day?

What would that kind of work pay? I realize that's a typical (pathetic) accusation that crops up when someone doesn't like the argument of another--the old "I'll bet you're a PAID CORPORATE SHILL!!--but I just can't imagine who would hire some loser to do that kind of work. Do they get benefits, do you suppose?

Are they terribly LOYAL shills to their corporate masters? You'd think we'd hear from them if they were badly treated by their bosses....
