And several right-wing extremists read their right-wing political blogs each day, and then re-post their contents here in new threads, as if they were "actual legitimate news stories", and not simply "right-wing propaganda".

I am not paid for my posting. However, with the constant practice created by the conservative ditoheads, I am going to send some of my work to a couple of shows and see if I can become a paid political commentator.

Due to the activities of those 'activists', I hold any post from a bleeding bum liberal as suspect unless proven otherwise.

The lesson here is that if we want to restore the Constitution to the intent of the founders then we need to learn to recognize the subversion of lefty activists and prepare to counter. Polite chat is of no use as their intent is to squelch the polite and attack the opposition.

Read and interpret leftist posts as such.
And RW posts the same way.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those left-wing posters are sponsored by foreign governments trying to bring down our country and our Constitution.

I've built quite a successful empire being paid to post. Many governments pay, and pay well, for me to spread my thoughts across the interwebz. So do large companies. It is quite amazing actually.

I underlined "post" because I assume there are a lot of people who read these forums to get an idea about how the public is thinking but do not post in order to promote the agenda of the organization they work for. I'm not talking about the readers, just the posters who post as part of their job assignment.


I'm thinking the other forums have people with agendas, too, where it's part of their job (volunteer or paid) to post to applicable forums but for right now, I'm just interested in what you think about this Politics and Other Controversies forum.
I know three specific daily posters in this forum who are Obamatron workers. One of them let it slip in a post.

Think for a minute.....you can tell who the paid Obamatrons are by the tone of their post.

You obviously aren't on the mailing list...the GOP started their internet trashing of President Obama before he was even sworn in, and it's been a
daily barrage of unimportant nonsense ever since. Teleprompter hypocrisy,
budget hypocrisy, the promulgation of lies and slanders...the RW is busy these days. No doubt one or two of their posters would happily add you to the payroll.

I have read many of your posts - And I strongly suspect the only job they would consider you suited for would be cleaning toilets .

In all seriousness, this topic is rather worthless.. The people here are too venomous and partisan to debate anything other than LW vs. RW. What a waste of everyones time..
