There are so many new people (all with 400-600 posts) that seem to do nothing but create dissention.
   

I'm beginning to think someone is paying a lot of concern trolls around here. Before we jump on these people's bandwagons, shouldn't we try to figure out whether they are actually Democrats and Progressives or whether they are simply trying to stir things up. They seem to spend all of their time trying to find articles that are critical of the administration. Some have even agreed with Jame Hamsher going after Bermie Sanders or accusing Howard Dean of being a hypocrite. Many of us, frustrated by the HCR bill are just blindly jumping on the band wagon. I think we all need to use a bit more critical thinking before we REC a thread that is negative about Dems or Progressives.

26. That's true and I'm not implying everyone with low post counts is a troll. Simply saying we need to
   
pay more attention to some of these people who seem to do nothing but sow dissension. You will notice it's going on on other left-leaning sites too. Go to TMP, go to HP, go to Raw Story. There is a flood of right-wing posters and it's obvious there is a concerted effort by the right to disrupt left-leaning sites. So we need to pay attention to what is being posted and rec'd here. That's all I'm saying.

Purge all dissenters, give them their pizzas.

20. Just think we need to apply a bit of critical thinking to some of these posts. We're all pretty
   
angry about the way HCR is going and seem to jump on every Obama is a dissapointment, the administration is a failure, Dems are sell-ous thread that gets posted. I have done it a few times myself lately. I just think we need to calm down and try to figure out if it's productive. Not implying that all newbies are trolls, just saying I think we need to pay more attention.

4. Here's how I look at it:
   
1) If the person focuses mostly on attacking Obama and seldom (or NEVER!) on attacking Repukes, they're a Republican.

2) If the person has ever mentioned Nader in a positive light, he's a Republican.

3) If the person spends more time talking about Israel than about the plight of the homeless, they're Republican.

WTF?  Many of the greens still like Nadir.

10. nice try Sarah
   
Of course, ethnic cleansing is less important than homelessness.

Killing the Jooos is a top priority with her.

11. It's like GOP blacks or Jewish Nazis. Same shit. Anyone who hates their own, and attacks their own
   
Either has mental problems, or is part of the other side.

That is very telling on a site that makes hating America almost a requirement.

6. PURGE, we must PURGE these people
   
Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick. It can't just be that these people have become so fed up with this administration's actions that they've been moved to join up here in order to vent. No, they must be concern trolls, and we must be wary of them, shun them in fact. We can't pollute our beautiful minds with things like facts and reality

Oh, something else to put in your pipe and smoke, myself and many others around here who are criticizing the president and Dems over this health care bill and other issues have been around a hell of a lot longer than you have. Are you saying that we're paid concern trolls, or just the noob's that you disagree with.

Just stop it with this shit, the only thing that I see being stirred up is divisiveness, and that's being stirred up by posters such as yourself, urging people to treat newcomers with hostility and suspicion.

Don't fool yourself. The DUmp has many trolls and even more sock puppets.

[Tucker]

Oh no. The jig is up. How much money did you get before you got TS'd?

Anyway. A post I can agree with.

I was curious if anyone here knows how Daily Kos people differ Dirty Underground people?

DK = Enemy officers, firing squad, burial.

DU = Enemy combatants, back of the head, buzzards.


they see us as stupid insurrectionist scum worthy of execution period.

No trial not even a show trial.

Capture and straight to execution.

divide and conquer is merely a tactic, in what they perceive as an internet WAR.

[BadCat]

Sorry to inform you DUmmies, but 99.9997% of all the lunacy you see at your poor excuse of a site is all your own.

[franksolich]

Oh dear.

We're being found out.

By the way, I'm greatly amused by this call for the primitives to use "critical thinking."

Like any primitive has that capacity.

[The Village Idiot]

No capacity at all for that.

BTW, I know how some of you feel about these online classes, but I got a 246 out of 250 in the Critical Thinking final project. Although I did get a D in the other class. heh.

[GOBUCKS]

Oh no. The jig is up. How much money did you get before you got TS'd?

It isn't easy to conquer, but dividing is a snap, and you can make a good living in this awful Oconomy simply using the "unrec" feature.
Certain DUmbasses, especially those forced to crap in their basements, are totally discombobulated by a few well-placed $8 unrecs.

[thundley4]

   They have proof of people being paid to disrupt them.  Well, probably not DU, but well known DimRat sites.

GOP aide gets caught posting on liberal websites......................PRETENDING TO BE A PROGRESSIVE

4. Ya, we don't have ANY of THOSE here!
   
The sad ones are the ones who do what the staffers are doing for FREE.

My mole from may rarely posts and rarely logs in. 

[The Village Idiot]

lol. idiots.

The don't need moles to divide and conquer their puny forum, they do it well all by themselves.

[crockspot]

Can you rec and unrec with a zero post count?

If you know how to do it properly....

Dear Little Goons:

I am current being paid $1.50 per event to post on your Little Goonie-ass site.  So far I've earned about $400.00. 

Fight fire with fire.  Pay me $500.00 and I'll stop posting.  Sign up here and PM me for details.

Thanks.

#11 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009
Response to Original message

79. They openly joke about their "moles"

Read any of the other conservative message boards -- They take great pride in their mole postings on DU, and then watching the ensuing melee. But I'm not so sure many of them are legit. More likely, they're like the loner on the Delta flight; sick, confused, and claiming the support of a larger group because he craves acceptance, and his own twisted form of "legitimacy."

Pedro Picasso's upset because he didn't make it into the TOP 10 PRIMITIVES OF 2009.

It's his own fault, though; he didn't try hard enough, and got beat out by a whisker, by the California piggy primitive, for the tenth place.

[Duke Nukum]

I can't wait for the day Skinner, Elad, and Lord Marblehead all out themselves as FReeper moles.

Oh, the irony!  It burns!

Hey, Texas Twat, think about that little line every time you read "overwhelming support of the American People" on any DUmp post.

I'm shocked, shocked!  Targeting SPECIFIC DUers?  How dare they?   Hate on an internet site!!!  Mommmmmmyyy!!!! 
Wait, shouldn't that all have been deleted?

You know, shockingly, that's still there.

The moderators on Skins's island must be stoned on the job.

[Karin]

Yep, still there, as well as the Freep link before it.  That crack that Sarah made about black GOPers got some people to pile on her and her broad brush.  That's a subject matter that enrages me, as it's so blatantly racist and they don't even see it. 

"If you, as a black man, don't feel the way I believe you should feel, then you are mentally ill."  That mentality goes back to slave days, and I cannot stand it.  My husband's boss is a black guy who listens to Rush Limbaugh.  Mightily upset about the direction this country is heading.  Is he to be marginalized?  Is he less black than lilly-white Sarah thinks he ought to be?  My whole jaw is on edge now.  FOAD, Sarah.

Did you watch Glenn Beck's show a few weeks back with the whole room of black conservatives?  They are of the same mindset as your husband's boss and are very aware that they are being marginalized and have been ever since they voiced their conservative opinions.  You know it really is the height of condescension believing, as the dummies do, that certain races, etc. cannot work hard and make it on their own given the same opportunities!

Well there were a few "o" sympathizers in the mix but most were hard core conservatives.

Yes, you're right! There were a couple . . . very good show overall with lots of good information.
