Sunday Open Thread: January 31st, 2010
What’s on your mind this Sunday?
Do you find Troll Dissection 101 to be a class worth taking?
h/t Chrissy the Hyphenated
Do you think Troll Dissection 101 is a class worth taking here on HillBuzz?
If so, instead of just deleting troll comments, we’ll continue to post them, as we have the last few days, breaking down line-by-line what the trolls are doing, and giving our take on what David Axelrod’s astroturfing machine has issued as talking points for the trolls to run with that day.
Please chime with your thoughts on this. If it’s something we can do to help teach moderates, conservatives, and independents what we picked up in two years of spotting, identifying, and countering these trolls online, we think it’s worth our effort. And, in truth, it is more than a little bit fun. Especially with graphics like this from Chrissy the Hyphenated.
Would you like it as a regular feature?
SLEUTHING OF THE DAY: Who is Snarkopolitan and how is she tied to the attacks on us?
Who runs the site “Snarkopolitan”?
What other sites does this person run?
How is this person connected to Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan, whom we believe to be the 39 year old man in Birmingham, England who posts under the name “TheBigotBasher” at sites like Rumproast.com, BettyCracker, Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, and his own site, TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com?
We’ve been told all of these people are all connected, and work in cahoots.
Several of the people involved in the sites above are computer executives, working for large marketing or advertising firms…firms that have connections to David Axelrod’s astroturfing machines.
Figuring out who these trolls are and what they have done to people who oppose Dr. Utopia and the current administration could very well reveal direct involvement by the DNC and Organizing for America in attacks upon American citizens, using this legion of trolls as a cyber weapon.
These people use libelous claims of RAAACISM! aimed at anyone who opposes Dr. Utopia to destroy people’s lives and careers.
We can use our sleuthing skills to figure out who these people are, how they are connected, and who in the White House is aware of, if not encouraging, these activities.
This is all much, much bigger than TheBigotBasher attacking us on January 20th and calling one of us RAAACIST.
Question: Would every Liberal-controlled school system be better if a hurricane hit it?
Education Secretary Arne Duncan, one of the Chicagoans brought to Washington for “The Golden Age of Hope and Change” (aka, “The Unmitigated Disaster of Unprecedented Proportions”), said recently that “the best thing to ever happen to the school system in New Orleans was Hurricane Katrina”.
He’s right.
New Orleans public schools were terrible before Katrina. Post-disaster, they were rebuilt from the ground up, along a charter school model that’s already showing great progress.
But, Duncan ran Chicago’s public schools, and those are terrible. Liberals control Chicago, and thus the schools. So, why aren’t Chicago public schools doing better? We must need more hurricanes.
While we’re on the topic, why are the public schools in every Liberal-controlled city that we can think of so terrible? Cleveland Public schools were at one time ranked the worst in the world. Worst in the known universe, to be technical. To this day, they need a hurricane, or at least a plague of locusts or a shower of toads, to make them adequate, because it’s unimaginable anything on Earth could make them good.
Why is everything that’s Liberal-controlled always so terrible?
What does that say about Liberalism, that the massive destructive power of a hurricane actually makes things Liberals control BETTER?
Question: is one of the world's largest advertising firms being paid by the DNC to attack moderate Democrats?
Is one of the world’s largest advertising agencies, which Michelle Malkin linked to astroturfing attacks on Sarah Palin in 2008, involved in the libelous attacks against moderate Democrats (of the PUMA variety) who the DNC wants silenced for speaking out against Obama and what Liberals are doing in Washington now?
Is there any connection between David Axelrod and this agency?
Is there a connection between the agency and someone running a known PUMA-hunting site?
Is there a connection between that PUMA-hunting site and the January 20th libelous attack on individuals here at HillBuzz?
Does the DNC pay David Axelrod to subcontract this ad firm to recruit its employees to run PUMA-hunting sites that encourage unpaid, unstable, vociferous PUMA-haters (in foreign countries like England, no less), to attack private citizens, libel and defame them, ruin their businesses, and destroy their lives?
Is there a way, through the path in question, to directly link someone like Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan in Birmingham, England (alias: TheBigotBasher, the troll who attacked us on January 20th) up to Axelrod and Organizing for America?
Was Nixon’s White House ever involved in this kind of personal attacks on private citizens?
Sure are a lot of questions today.
Got any answers?
Saturday Open Thread: January 30th, 2010
What’s on your mind this Saturday?
No plans for Hillary Clinton to attend another SOTU (until she delivers it herself)
Our friend Wess is convinced HRC will resign as Secretary of State sometime in late November, using something in the news at the time as an excuse. Dr. Utopia will be severely weakened by the midterm election losses in 2010, and if she wants to run for the Democrats’ nomination herself in 2012, she’ll need to start building her ground team by January 2011, at the latest.
So, Wess thinks HRC skipping the SOTU this year will be followed up by her not having to be there in 2011 either, so that she doesn’t have to sit there and be seen clapping and agreeing with the insanity on display during a speech like that.
We’re looking forward to seeing Speaker Bachmann standing behind Dr. Utopia, not clapping at all for anything, while Joe Biden sits there, wondering when he gets his next serving of ice cream, trying to stay awake.
Sometimes Wess is in his own little world with some of this stuff, but you know what, in our gut we think he’s right this time.
We just don’t see her being at the State of the Union next year, either. We’re thrilled she won’t be out helping any Liberals win re-election this year, because being at State means she’s out of politics for the moment and does not have to do this.
Also, since Chelsea is getting married this summer, the Clintons have a wonderful excuse not to do much of anything for anyone, as they will all be busy planning Chelsea’s big day.
Perfect timing on that.
Then, there’s always the rebuilding in Haiti to keep President Clinton too busy to campaign for people like Chuck Schumer, whom we bet the Clintons want to lose in a big, big way. As do we.
Do you think she leaves the State Department in November or December of 2010? The more we think about it, December seems like the month she’d resign in. That way, she has Christmas as an excuse to want to spend more time with the family and relax with the holidays coming.
Then, in January, before Sarah Palin announces her own candidacy (which we suspect will be on February 6th, 2011 — which is Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday), HRC could announce her decision to run in 2012. Maybe by then Utopia will be so low in the polls he’s just come out and say he won’t seek a second term. It’s pretty close to that already.
What think you?
Question: Have you heard of an Elise Harding, from Daily Kos and Organizing for America?
A little bee told us we need to look into someone named Elise Harding, who worked for Organizing for America, was on the ground for Obama in Iowa, and writes at Daily Kos as “Elise”.
Who is she?
What is she up to?
Can she be linked back to any of the attacks on PUMAs?
We never heard of her until about 10 minutes ago, but apparently she’s living here in Chicago too.
Does “Elise Harding” ring any troll bells?
The Conversation Continues
Time for Hillary 2012 tee shirts yet?
An Open Letter to Anyone Attacked By Trolls and PUMA Hunters
To anyone who has been attacked by anonymous Obama supporters,
On January 20th, 2010, the Obama supporters of the Left declared open war on us, on a personal level.
This was originated by a blogger we believe is named Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan, writing from Birmingham, England, and using a site called TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com to post libel, defamation, and statements that amount to tortious interference of contracts about us as individuals. These attacks have inhibited our ability to find employment here in Chicago, and they’ve put us at risk of physical violence. The attacks made by TheBigotBasher were immediately picked up by The Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, and other sites on the Left to give the attacks more exposure..and create more damage for us on a personal level.
This attack, like other attacks we have witnessed on PUMAs (Democrats who do not support Obama, who self-identify under the banner of People United Means Action), appears to be coordinated by a cell of Obama supporters who routinely post at sites such as Rumproast, BettyCracker, Snarkopolitan, and others. The standard plan of attack by these Obama supporters is:
(1) Someone like BigotBasher libels someone as a racist, believing, incorrectly, that because he is in England that American law cannot touch him and he cannot be charged with libel, and held financially responsible for the employment he has cost us.
(2) Other Obama supporters, here in the US, wait for BigotBasher to post something overseas. Then, these allies of his repost his libel and character defamation posts at the likes of Daily Kos and Democratic Underground, which refuse to take these posts down despite repeated requests for them to do so.
(3) The next wave of attack is for other Obama supporters to head over to Daily Kos and Democratic Underground, where they comment on the posts that are linked to TheBigotBasher, adding their own statements that the people being called racists by BigotBasher should be beaten, should be ruined, should be attacked in their homes, etc.
The people committing these attacks coordinate all of this on message boards, and through posts at places like Rumproast, BettyCracker, Snarkopolitan, etc.
They’ve been at this since 2008. The root of this behavior rests with Obama himself, when he ordered his followers to “get in the faces” of all who opposed him. We believe the Obama campaign, through the expertise of David Axelrod’s own astroturfing operation, set up the original hit squads to take down anyone who opposed The Lightbringer.
Whether Organizing for America and Axelrod are still directing day-to-day troll operations or not is a matter of opinion — but that will, too, be revealed in time no doubt.
To our knowledge, no coordinated effort has ever been launched to determine if the people attacking all PUMAs individually are communicating with one another, and whether they are receiving any help or direction, on any level, from the likes of David Axelrod, David Plouf, or Rahm Emanuel in the White House itself.
TheBigotBasher gave us reason to investigate all of this on January 20th when he lobbed racists accusations against us, and committed libel on his site.
Everyone who assists Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan with the attacks he’s engaged in is a co-defendent in our eyes, and will be treated as such as we bring legal action against him, to seek remedy for the damages he has caused us.
We intend to use every research tool we can to systemically identify and expose every troll that’s been libeling, defaming, and harassing Hillary Clinton supporters…and will employ all means possible to determine whether or not these people are in any way being directed by the DNC and Obama inner circle themselves.
We believe, as these connections are revealed, the parties involved in coordinating these attacks across state lines and national borders could be charged under RICO statutes. Anyone assisting them at the DNC would also be culpable. If anyone in elected office is in any way connected with personal attacks upon American private citizens, then voters need to know about this involvement before the next election.
If you are an Obama supporter who has called anyone a racist or engaged in attacks upon that person, and you are reading this, we suggest you take down everything you did to attack that person. If you are a regular at Daily Kos or DemocraticUndergrond, we suggest you advise your cohorts there to cease and desist their libelous attacks, lest they join Mr. O’Sullivan in Birmingham as a co-defendent as this case moves forward.
We are receiving help with this stand against PUMA hunters from the most unexpected and encouraging places.
As we talked about on Breitbart yesterday, there are a great many layers to all of this. There are many Obama supporters involved. This has been going on for some time. Many people’s lives and businesses have been ruined because they did not support Obama.
The American voters need to hear this story. These attackers need to be exposed, just as they outed many anonymous Hillary bloggers. The difference is, once identified and exposed, instead of being menaced (the way these Obots attacked Hillary supporters), these people will be prosecuted.
The Left keeps doubling down on these attacks, because, once again, there’s never been a group effort to expose and tie all these people together, and then back to the DNC. It’s a Herculean effort, with many twists and turns, and hundreds, if not thousands, of trolls hiding under many, many rocks.
The task is daunting, to be sure.
But, we feel up to it. TheBigotBasher called us “amateur Sherlock Holmeses”. We see ourselves more as The Three Investigators, really. But, if you want to go with Holmes, then we’ll draw your attention to the thousands of Watsons we’ve got..such a great many eyes that are now focused on all of these trolls, finding new clues every day, so the dossier we build against the Left gets bigger and bigger every time we talk about this.
This is about much, much more than just TheBigotBasher, Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan, in Birmingham, England libeling us.
This is about Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan crossing the line and finally breaking the unicorn’s back, creating a rallying point at which ALL PUMAs who have been attacked join forces and expose and prosecute all trolls, and whoever is assisting them within Obama circles.
We will take this all the way up to the White House, if we have to.
Gladly.
And whatever happens, trolls, just remember who you have to thank for all this attention: Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan, over at TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com.
He’s the troll that put all PUMA Hunters on so very many new sets of radar.
Lookig forward to finding out more about all of you and how you operate,
Team Hillary, at large
