Even putting it out there regardless of legitimacy can create fear of speaking out against the great one... i.e. silencing people. If it is false can we guess who may have put it out there? Now who would want to silence anyone who speaks out against Obama?

I bet you can see who is a paid plant, within the forums here.


Those that post topics, never to return to defend their biased position?

We have plenty of trolling, but most are not working for the government. A few are can you pick them out?


You've probably run into them before -- those seemingly random antagonist who always end up diverting the conversation in an online chat room or article comment section away from the issue at hand, and towards a much different agenda. Hot-button issues like illegal immigration, the two-party political system, the "war on terror" and even alternative medicine are among the most common targets of such attackers, known as internet "trolls" or "shills," who in many cases are nothing more than paid lackeys hired by the federal government and other international organizations to sway and ultimately control public opinion.


Federal government routinely hires internet trolls, shills to monitor chat rooms, disrupt article comment sections
This is true. I have known this for some time, and you can just about positively identify them here. They are the OFA volunteers, and they are the ones on here that defend the failed ACA and Obama's other failed policies. They're pretty obvious.

So based on the comments here I wonder how many work for a non-profit or a party which sees benefit in weakening trust in the current gov't.

Let me know where I can sign up, so I can spend nice sunny days in doors.. Its time a lot of you need to go outside and check to see if the flowers are coming up .

I wonder if the government plants get a bonus when they ask "where do I sign up?"
