78. A good number of them are the real article
   
That said we do have trolls. One specific poster (not naming names) posted an almost word for word personal attack from the cave.

Either that was a hell of a coincidence.... Or one of my cave fans.

wooyhoo  shout out to me 

funny thing is i was never a troll, just someone who went to the site to discuss shit and have fun.  But boy did some of them hate me with a passion, kinda funny though as some of the biggest haters there adore my wife and have no idea who i am in real life, i kinda get a real laugh with myself being the ultimate mole in a way as i read her personal DU emails from these same guys and gals who hated on me and they sure as hell dont feel shy about divulging everything in their lives to the misses in the hope that she can get her boss (the congresscritter) to help them.

Every time I see one of these "infiltrator" posts, I figure the OP is just trying to chill any opposing speech at the Hive.

1. Plans? Its been happening since the GOP paid operatives to infiltrate Green forums in 2000.
   
They've been here at DU, at Kos and other progressive places since their beginnings.

11. They can't win on the issues so....
   
...they undermine, lie, cheat, rig the vote, oppress the vote, smear their opponents....because if they ran purely on the issues, they'd LOSE.

That sounds like every liberal I've ever met.

16. This site is not suspicious. We have GOP trolls operating here now, buried as hard progressives.
   
The ripping of Obama that comes from the hands of so called progressives on this site would make a tea**** blush if the tealoser read the posts.

Oops.  Looks like Jake beat me to the punch. 

[Mr Mannn]

OH NOES!!!!111!!!!eleventy111
alien ideas posted on liberal sites! trolls! unclean! lock up your children and wives!

[JakeStyle]

Oops.  Looks like Jake beat me to the punch. 

You did a much better job than me off critiquing the thread though 

[DefiantSix]

Yup.  All your discussion boards are pwned by US, DUmbshits.  All of my moles/trolls have a minimum 1,500 posts there.  Or maybe they don't exist at all; but can you be sure??

 

[Ballygrl]

Not a fan, I'm actually rooting for Sarah (she has to be a mole) Ibuprofen!

[Evil_Conservative]

Again, where do I sign up to be a paid troll?  I'd love to be able to work from home and save money on daycare and gas!

[movie buff]

Never mind the fact that the Left has been doing this on conservative websites for years, having posters pretend to be conservative and post stupid things to try and make real conservatives look bad (Almost always racist comments). It's so widespread, and so well- known that there's even a nickname for such trolls: They're called "Mobys," a reference to when the singer Moby urged his fans on his website to do that very thing.

That's the deal.

The Democrats, liberals, and primitives forget that Republicans and conservatives don't have the sophistication to cheat like they do, and so anything we learn about cheating, we learn from them.

We got a long ways to go, though--although I hope we never resort to imitating blue cities and blue states in creating votes out of thin air; that'd be going too far.

But as for "dirty tricks," the Democrats, liberals, and primitives did them first.

Did them first, do them now, and do them to the extent they have been elevated from mere trick to an art form, the likes of which Michelangelo would be embarrassed.

GOP Site Plans To Infiltrate Liberal Sites With “Trolls”

I'm still waiting for my last check from Lord Rove for the 2010 work I did.

And yeah, never been a mole here, right DUmmies?

[DefiantSix]

Are you sure you aren't referring to "Machiavelli"?

Michelangelo was an artist (or a mutant ninja turtle, depending on who you ask).  Machiavelli was a political philosopher.

[Skul]

The link provided for "verifying" the dastardly deed, is not exactly an unbiased site.
I smell a bunch of rats.

I thought Machiavelli was the first Italian to break the sound barrier.

[GOBUCKS]

Michelangelo is nadinese for Machiavelli.

I suspect that's what my fellow Nebraskan was trying to do; a nadism on purpose.

We Cornhuskers are that way.

I've reconsidered.,

My fellow Nebraskan was apparently referring to the "art" of dirty politics, at which Democrats, liberals, and primitives are maestros.

So it looks to me his reference to Michelangelo was what he intended; after all, Michelangelo was a great artist, one of the finest.

(My apologies to Airwolf if I'm assuming too much.)

[Airwolf]

I'm sure that someone has a copy of the Post by StinkDude boasting of how he has a mole here and he's done that more then once. So who is it again that's trolling?

     I am always flummoxed by the hand-wringing that trolls are hanging around the DUmp.

     OF COURSE THERE ARE TROLLS AT THE DUMP. There are trolls on every single board on the Internet. It's just a message board. No one (except us) will remember anything that was said on DU. If DU is so influential, why have every single one of its initiatives failed, utterly? By my estimation, DU exists for a small set of reasons:

1. To give Taverner a soapbox to boast about his drug use;
2. To compensate Nadin for the lack of attention and excitement in her life, probably stemming from childhood;
3. To give MrScorpio a Whitman's sampler of white bitches ready to put their stubbly drumsticks in the air once he scrapes bus fare together for them;
4. To give CalPig a Greek chorus of applauding drones every time she posts a "poem";
5. To give Will Pitt someplace other than Penthouse Forum to post his drunken ramblings;
6. To give mentally ill liberals a place to assert their assumed dominion over public affairs.

In other words, DU:

YOU EXIST FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT. As such, you must deal with a few trolls. Sorry; that's the price of irrelevance.

I had to HI5 you for the list, but you owe me a new keyboard.
