McCain recruits right wingers to spam liberal blogs

There's no need for the DNC to pay people to go out and disrupt conservative blogs and sites. That's George Soros' job and he's doing it very well.

Now he's spamming? Ban John McCain!

The really funny part is he'd have to recruit others to do is bidding on the net because he can't get online by himself.

We should be smart enough to know that this is coming. All of my, let's say, conversative friends try to push my buttons constantly. What is so funny is that I don't have to do anything with them. All of their buttons are lit up and flashing red. When I feel the need for amusement, I just get on them and start dancing. What seems to irritate the die hards the most is when you don't get get upset and yell and start name calling. Don't let anyone drag you down to their level.

Oh man, that is hilarious.

McCain "The McCandidate" is nuts. What a sell-out war-mongering codger.

I just clicked your link and filled out some bogus crap and told them what I think of them. Counter-Spam.... ACTIVATE!

Johnny, you are what you called your wife, hear me?

We all know them here, among many of them:

To menmykoko---

On persuasion: Any time I communicate with you I'm trying to create a bridge between our minds. It's hard to imagine communication without persuasion. As "brudda IZ" and Louis Armstrong said "I see friends shaking hands, saying How are you -- They're really saying I love you" --In this little paragraph, I'm attempting to show a broader, and yes truthful, view of communication: It's still persuasion. If done with emotional elegance, you may accept it as truth, if done with a pit bull snarling over your nude body, you might not.

On rewards for political speech: Isn't this exactly what politics is all about? Quite frankly, and think about this for a moment: There would be no power in a political machine without rewards for support. Even if there is no 'overt' reward, a person's internal values create a reward/punishment system that is as hidden from you as any external political motivation. Would you want Barack Obama to be the head of a political machine without cohesive power? Lack of cohesion has been the downfall of the Democratic Party since Roosevelt died. (Lyndon Johnson was really good at it, but really bozoed when it came to understanding foreign policy -- but that's another topic)

So pick your own best truth. The one that you can really establish a bulkhead in someone's mind as being true, real and wise. Share it. And know that, yes, words are swords, armor, clusterbombs, plowshares and flowers. Words are noble, sacred, vile and hateful. People you will find on the internet will use them in all of those ways. Expect them to throw everything at you, but expect to carry your message to them, even if you don't.

While it doesn't surprise me that McCain is doing this, i think it is a new age, when people are hired to be propaganda machines, but all they do is blog. IT reminds be of lenin tactics. I wonder hoe many of those reps are on this site filling this chat.

Several years ago, I posted on jerry spinger’s blog from Air America. Until I found out they had a plant, who was there to antagonize people. It was a political blog, I would never participate in anything like his television show, but I enjoyed the exchange between democrats and republicans.

I felt violated when I found out! I stopped posting on blogs until I found huffingtonpost.com. But, since I have started posting on current.com, it's hard to find the time to post at Huffington Post. I do find interesting posts there, which I share at current.com.

I appreciate honest dialog with Democrats and Republicans and think people who post just to spin (make us dizzy) are shameful.

While I'm upset about the dirty politics on McCain's part, I'm surprised his political camp recognized the power of the Internet and chose to target liberal blogs. They are indeed influential.

Actually, I did not know this until recently and it scared the shit out of me and I also felt violated--like someone had been in my head,lol. I am surprised that it is not a larger issue and more widely known. It seems to me an insidious and devious form of attempting to brainwash someone.

If a person is being rewarded in anyway to go into any public forum and masquerades, disguises and lessens the degree of their views, with the clear intention of, persuading and changing someone elses moral and ethical beliefs of how they view society and the world to the side of the persuader unbeknownst to the persuadee, then there can be no doubt that deception is at the root. The problem lies with whether or not the bloggers are being transparent about their beliefs from the start.

Well, All John McCain's site is saying to his supporters is to exercise their freedom of speech rights on some blogs on the internet. His site does not seem to advocate rude or ignoble speech. All legal, moral and ethical.

BUT! His site does list dozens of moderate and conservative sites that you can click on to exercise your freedom of speech rights. It is like a list of the most important right wing sites: sites read by the people that really need gentle persuasion and a loving hand to lead them to a better perspective on the future of America.

So, don't spam, don't spread hate, don't be manini (that's hawaiian slang for petty), be honest and spread your truth. everywhere and anywhere. The Constitution says it's OK.

If McCain knew how to use a computer he could spam them himself.

If we do it we are sneakier than them, because I haven't seen anything about the DNC or Obama paying people to disrupt conservative blogs. We are just rowdier than them naturally maybe, and do go places and say things for free? I'd feel sleazy getting paid to disrupt things.

I think they all do it.

This is no different than what Obama is and has been doing. Some of the Obama supporters have been banned from other sites because they act so ugly to other people who express views that are contrary to BO. Why is this newsworthy? Just because someone other than BO is doing it? What is good for the goose is good for the gander! I can't believe how quickly everything any other candidate does is attacked but Obama can do whatever he wants and people ignore it! Amazing!

The RNC has been doing this for months. McCain can't even come up with original dirty tricks. What a goofy old loser. See them with their rude remarks and ignore them to death. In fact rude people should all be ignored, maybe they will get bored and go away.

sue the spammers!!
