EDIT "Shills" People it was a typo! Goodness gracious.
In the week since the election, we've had a pretty noticeable bunch of new posters arrive, all parroting the Right Wing Talking Point of the Day.
Folks with 20 or 40 total posts, all posting in the same exact style, all with a link to questionable source and a "I can't believe Obama is ... " declaration of some sort.
Why can't C-D weed out these obvious plants?
And yes, this applies to BOTH left and right.
It's just the way things flow. After the 2010 elections, after a presidential election, we get new people, but most of them go back to what they were doing in a month or so.
You didn't notice all the liberal posts once the presidential general election started?
I would also suggest that there are a number of anti-Obama regulars who have disappeared post election and may have found it more palpable to return in another guise to avoid the well deserved ridicule.
Absolutely there are. There's one person on this site that I'm 100% certain is one of them. Haven't seen that person since the election, either... That person is/was an Obama supporter, btw.
The thing is, you're claiming that people are showing up AFTER the election, and posting messages intended to.... do what, exactly? Sway voters? Your theory fails the logic test, and that's the very first thing you should have noticed, before you even typed the first letter of the post.
Nine thousand and whatever posts, and you're claiming that I'm a newbie shill? LOL - that's a first. I've been accused of being a shill before - even a shill for the "radical leftist Obama agenda," which is absolutely hysterical (that one was from a super-duper-die-hard conspiracy theorist), but lumping me in with the new posters you're complaining about? Wow. Loosen up the tin-foil, dude. Better add another layer, too, just to be safe... Make it three layers - you can't be too careful, and I just bought another bunch of shares in Alcoa...
Doesn't have to be a political party, since they seem to parrot the Rush/Beck/Breibert stuff, it could be them. Could be anyone with an agenda. [added with edit:] There is always a message to push for somebody, regardless of how far off an election is.
I wasn't calling you (swagger) a newbie shill at all, I was talking to SouthernFreeSpirit at that time, and referring to other new posters with very low post counts and very similar posting style of very similar political ideologies.

sure, but those came from the same liberal posters who have always been here for the most part.
The posts I'm noticing lately are coming from brand new posters and share a writing and content style that I found interesting.
Clearly I should have never bothered to start this thread. Point taken everyone.
Unlike you lib posters parroting everything on MSNBC, progressive radio, MoveOn and the editorial boards of the LAT, NYT and WaPo.
It goes both ways dude.
strange how the lib babblers will bring up fox news on virtually every topic. no matter how little it has to do with fox news.
FNDS, the leftard plague.
