Of Astroturf And Ironies

clipped from jimtreacher.com

Quick hypothetical with regard to href="http://jimtreacher.com/archives/001600.html">my previous post about
the "Obama Action Wire." Let's say the official John McCain website targets you.
Something like:

"Blogger X is a lying teller of untruths, and everybody needs to
tell this despicable fibber that he or she shouldn't talk about me anymore.
Here's a list of things to say in his or her comments. Go, now,
hurry."

You suddenly get thousands of hostile comments, all saying the exact same
thing. And when they're asked to elaborate on the reasoning behind their
opinion, they can't. href="http://wgnradio.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44075&Itemid=467">Because
McCain didn't write that part down for them.


Or wouldn't you see it as a form of spamming, and an attempt to intimidate
you into leaving McCain alone?

Probably not. Never mind.

P.S. Ace href="http://ace.mu.nu/archives/273726.php">Slublog: "One of the great
ironies of this election is that liberals are worshiping a guy who embodies
everything they claim to hate about the Bush administration."
