Here’s a troll dropping from someone named “Judith” that falls into a category we call “Hillary vs. Sarah”, in which trolls try vainly to drive a wedge between supporters of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.  We believe the fact so many Hillary Dems love Palin keeps many at the DNC wide awake at night.  Constantly, trolls try to alienate Clinton supporters from Palin.  It’s so obvious, it’s hilarious, actually.  Of all the varietals of troll out there, the “Judith” Hillary vs. Palin trolls are the most transparent and sloppy.

Here’s “Judith’s” comment below.  See if you can dissect her remarks yourself, before clicking on “more” to read our breakdown:

I haven’t visited this site regularly (until today) and so there’s surely some history I’m missing. I like Sarah Palin and I’m glad everyone on this site does too, but I’m just curious. I wouldn’t think that Palin’s policies and political philosophy would be that attractive to people who supported Hillary Clinton.

I’ve got to tell you, I would never have supported Mrs. Clinton. (again, as I noted in another comment – I was appalled by what was done to Mrs. Clinton in the primaries. I didn’t think sexism was that big of a deal until I saw it practiced by the Left.) Also, I’m glad to be a comrade in arms with moderates, independents, etc., to kick out the Leftists.

So – and I don’t mean this at all sarcastically or snarkily – those of you who consider yourselves supporters of both Mrs. Clinton & Mrs. Palin – can you tell me how you view their disparate policy positions and how you support (or would support) both?

General comments:

If you have been following the “Troll Dissection 101″ series on HillBuzz, you’ll know troll droppings can be identified by their general smell.  Without getting into the meat of this comment, can you get the feeling something just isn’t right about the wording, sentence structure, and remarks?

We read hundreds of comments a day on this site.

There’s at least 200 remarks that never make it passed moderation, because they’re troll droppings.  Most of them are Asian spam sites that try leaving comments linking to scam sites selling Viagra, Cialis, etc.  Other troll remarks are just expletive-ridden rants, assorted threats from the Left, or expressions of the Left’s desire all of us here get AIDS and die.

Of the posts that get through, there’s a natural flow, meter, beat, and rhythm to people’s writing.  It’s interesting, because even though people are clearly of different persuasions politically (or otherwise), and come from different parts of the country (or Australia, France, Ireland, and the UK, for some of our readers), and all of you are making different points, the structure of your remarks  is almost universally the same.

It’s to the point, never choppy, and only on the rarest occasions do any of you write in stilted fashion.  99% of you write the way you speak, which is how we write.  If you were sitting here at Buzzquarters, you’d be hearing essentially what’s typed up in posts.  If you’ve heard us on the radio or on TV, you’ll know this is true.  “You sound just like HillBuzz.  Are you HillBuzz?,” one of us got once, at a rally he spoke at, when someone in the crowd came up and ID-ed him based only on his word usage, pacing, and jokes.

Trolls don’t sound like real people.  They sound like recycled bits of focus-group tested jargon and logic puzzles the Axelrod Astroturfing brigade sends out into the Internet.

Let’s look at “Judith’s” remarks now, line by line, to see what we mean:

(1) I haven’t visited this site regularly (until today) and so there’s surely some history I’m missing. I like Sarah Palin and I’m glad everyone on this site does too, but I’m just curious. I wouldn’t think that Palin’s policies and political philosophy would be that attractive to people who supported Hillary Clinton.

First off, it’s odd that someone who claims she hasn’t visited this site regularly (until today), because that’s just a weird thing to say.  Does it mean that today’s the first time she’s visited numerous times, or does it mean that today’s the first time she ever visited, but intends to visit regularly in the future?  Normal people don’t talk like this in comments.  They just don’t.  Chances are, someone who has never read us before won’t leave a comment.  Many of you tell us that you “lurk” on the site for months before you ever leave a comment.  Of course, there are exceptions to that…but it’s been our experience, in two years running this site, that if someone comes to us via a link at some other site, and reads us for the first time, the only instance where they leave a comment is to write something vile and nasty to us because they are upset with something we said that day.

A few weeks ago, we let the guys over at Redstate and Ace of Spades have it because they were being Eeyores over Scott Brown’s chances in Massachusetts.  We spanked their little butts but good, and told them to man up and work hard and not let the MSM and concern-trolls get them down and make them give up, because Scott Brown would win if we all worked hard for him (and how did that turn out, Eeyores?).  Well, someone at Ace didn’t like that one bit, and put a link up to us on the site…and we were flooded by many 20-something Republicans who didn’t like us calling them pessimistic, lazy, gullible punks.  So, many of them left nasty first-time comments attacking us, calling us fags, etc…but oddly enough, none of them could argue the points we made.

THOSE are the kinds of first-time reader comments we get.  We have to say that in two years doing this, we’ve never once had a first time reader chime in to say they don’t understand what we are about or ask us to clarify anything.  There are close to 5,000 posts on this site.  There’s a FAQ section in the CONTACT tab that, ironically enough, answers the very question that “Judith” asks above.  Why didn’t “Judith” just read that?

Because “Judith” is a troll.

Judith wants to ask the question of why Hillary supporters can support Palin, because in asking that as a question the goal of astroturfing is to make the readers doubt such a thing is possible.  “How can an elephant fly?”.  “How can Michelle Obama wear that dress and not look ridiculous?”.  “How come I never see Tom Cruise being affectionate with Katie Holmes?”.

What sort of mental images do those questions conjure in your mind?

Well, elephants can’t fly, so you are reminded of how ridiculous a thought that is.  Michelle Obama looks ridiculous in most of her dresses…and, well, it’s TOM CRUISE with a woman, so do the math on that, too.

The troll claims “to not know the history” of the site, which is troll cover for asking something like this.  That’s designed to placate any of you out there reading it who would jump in and yell TROLL! and attack Judith for asking a dumb question.  “Well, she said she doesn’t know the history, so just give her the benefit of the doubt,” is what Judith hopes another poster will say in the thread. Who knows, Judith may very well ask that same question herself later, under a different name.

Here’s an interesting tidbit for you:  Judith’s IP address has been used to post comments on this site before.  We have our spam filter setup to screen all new IP addresses attempting to post.  Every new poster must be approved before she or he can leave a comment.  Judith was able to post her remark without going into moderation.  That means Judith has posted here before.  We scanned our comments and have never had a poster named Judith coming from this particular IP address before.  We scanned for this IP address, and see that it’s been used before, but for comments left under the name “Susan” and “Brian”.  So, “Judith” uses multiple handles, and has posted here multiple times as different people, but “Judith” claims to not visit us regularly.

Interesting.

It’s also funny she says “this site” instead of HillBuzz.

We’re always really suspicious of any comments that feel like they could have been left at any Hillary supporting site, with just cut-and-paste action going on.  Not referring to HillBuzz, HB, Boystown, “The Boyz”, Buzzers, or other personal touches usually left for us feels like a giveaway that the poster is taking a comment crafted in an astroturf operation and leaving it here, before moving on to leave it at Pumapac, NoQuarter, The Confluence, or wherever.  Chances are, we’re on a hit list, and these people just plug and chug Judith’s canned remarks at one site after another.

The reason for doing this tonight is because Sarah Palin knocked the Tea Party speech out of the park.  Chances are, we’re on a Google Alert paired with “Sarah Palin”, so any time we say nice things about the Governor, the troll cave gets an alert, and the trolls mobilize to try to drive a wedge between the Hillary and Palin supporters.

Notice the bit where troll Judith says, “I like Sarah Palin and I’m glad everyone else on this site does too, but I’m just curious”.  That’s classic trolling.  Judith needs to establish a bond with readers, fast, within the first few sentences.  So she says she likes Palin, is glad everyone else does to, and then adds the I’m just curious stuff to plant some doubt in people’s heads about the Hillary-Palin dual support…it’s a foreshadow to what she’s going to do in a moment.

The next part is CLASSIC troll, and must rate highly in focus groups Axelrod runs because it’s repeated over and over again all across the PUMAverse.  Repeatedly, these people keep insisting that Hillary and Palin are so far apart, that their supporters must hate each other, never agree on anything, and that Hillary people are natural enemies of Palin-ites.

This is just not true.  We’re living proof of that.  But it’s the wedge the Left continues trying to drive between all of us.  We’re never going to let that happen.

(2) I’ve got to tell you, I would never have supported Mrs. Clinton. (again, as I noted in another comment – I was appalled by what was done to Mrs. Clinton in the primaries. I didn’t think sexism was that big of a deal until I saw it practiced by the Left.) Also, I’m glad to be a comrade in arms with moderates, independents, etc., to kick out the Leftists.

A couple of things are going on in this next part.

(a) Tries to establish some credibility as a third person observer by saying she was not a Clinton fan, and tries to use the sexism of the Left as the reason she’s here — that’s an attempt to stir some emotion in readers, most of whom are still livid about the way Clinton was treated.  If you are emotional, you are less likely to logically dissect the troll’s comments.

(b) The whole comrade in arms thing is meant to make you agree with this person, and listen to the troll, because she’s trying to establish similarities between you and her.

(c) The use of the word “Leftists” is interesting.  We bet that’s in the Google Alert this comment was prompted by too.  Normally, we say “Liberals”, but have deliberately used the word “Leftist” today in a psy-ops mission of our own…as we read a focus group report saying Americans are less willing to support Democrats if they are called “Leftists” repeatedly than if they are labeled “Liberals”.  Hence, we’re going to be using the term Lefists exclusively.  It might be coincidental, but it’s just odd the day we went full-bore with the “Leftist” verbiage we get this troll remark talking about being comrades in arms against Leftists.

(3) So – and I don’t mean this at all sarcastically or snarkily – those of you who consider yourselves supporters of both Mrs. Clinton & Mrs. Palin – can you tell me how you view their disparate policy positions and how you support (or would support) both?

Whenever we have to go to a shady convenience store, or if we’re at a bad restaurant, and the clerk or waiter gives the wrong change and we catch it, the first thing out of their mouths is almost always, “I wasn’t trying to cheat you”.  That means they were trying to cheat us.

When a troll says they don’t mean something sarcastically or snarkily, they mean it sarcastically and snarkily.  And snarkily isn’t even a cromulent word.

“Disparate” is another of those $5.00 words that Axelrod puts into his cut-and-paste troll remarks for some reason.  We’re still not sure why, because these words never fit the rest of the comment.  Someone who uses the word “disparate” should be able to use the SEARCH function on this site to answer the question she is asking.  Someone with a vocabulary that good (at least college freshman), should be able to find the answer to what she is asking right at the top of our home page, in the CONTACT section.  In fact, before asking any questions at all, someone using “disparate” in regular speech would always check for an FAQ somewhere before commenting.

So, that’s just really fishy to us.

And, like we said, all of this fits into the meme of astroturfers consistently asking why Hillary supporters and Palin supporters can get along so well, and support BOTH women across party lines…because they have a deliberate and determined agenda to drive a wedge between both camps, so Clinton voters do not help Palin in 2012.

We really think the DNC is terrified of legions of Hillary men and women making sure what happened to Clinton at the hands of the Obama Kool-Aid Hope and Change Gang doesn’t happen to Palin.

As we said, we will not let them win.

How good were you at spotting the above?

Anything we missed?
