Troll Dissection 101: Can you break down this troll's comments and see its agenda?
Here’s an interesting troll dropping we spotted in our spam filter. Can you break it down and identify the troll’s agenda?
Can you answer the following for us?
(1) What gives it away this troll does not read us regularly, but was sent here today by either Daily Kos or DemocraticUnderground?
(2) What is the troll’s objective in writing?
(3) How does the troll seek to attack us?
(4) How does the troll intend to influence other readers and what does the troll hope you will do?
(5) What writing “ticks” and clues are clear in the sentence construction that give this away as a troll?
(6) What are glaring clues this troll is trying to fake being a regular reader of ours?
Here’s the troll dropping — dissect away!
TROLL:
I am this close to ending my relationship with HillBuzz because I can’t remember the last time that any of the moderators, who are supposed to be moderates equally incensed by the Dems AND the GOP, said *anything* even remotely critical of republicans.
I revile O’Bambi too, but I’m not going to abandon my progressive moderate sensibilities just because the current democratic leadership screwed up everything in 2008. The GOP are as bad, if not worse, than the Dems on matters of principle and procedure.
Has Hillbuzz turned into a complete right-wing apologist board, or is there a memo that I missed? If so, then I’ll ignore this place the way I ignore all of the other loony, wingnut GOP sites AND loony wingnut Dem sites.
Daily Kos in full-on pants-wetting meltdown over "Motions to Recommit"
Daily Kos readers have gotten wee-weed up today.
If you ever thought we didn’t love you, we hope today proves you wrong, because we just read a piece over at Daily Kos for you. It was icky. We had to take a shower afterwards, with that stinky antibacterial soap to kill all the orange germs. Kos is a very nasty, rotten place, but we got a tip they were in full-on pants-wetting meltdown mode over “Motions to Recommit” and wanted to know what the fuss was about.
Here’s the Cliff’s Notes, so you don’t have to go over there and read for yourself. We’re not posting a link because we don’t especially want to be tied to anything there, and don’t feel like sending them any traffic.
Essentially, the pants-wetting is because back when he was in Congress, Rahm Emanuel invented the strategy of “Motions to Recommit”, which he engaged in both clothed and nude, depending on his mood, and whether he wanted to do this in the Congressional showers at the time or in actual Congress itself.
Emanuel used the maneuver to force Republicans to systematically go on record either supporting things their constituents didn’t want or opposing things their constituents were in favor of, as Republicans tried to look big picture on bills primarily dealing with other issues. In short, Emanuel’s goal was to create as many campaign ads for Democrats as possible, building a paper trail for arguments made to voters to boot as many Republicans from office as possible.
Daily Kos is in meltdown because they realize Republicans have a perfect storm of an opportunity to use the same tactic to force every Democrat in office to go on record voting against the will of their constituents, doing exactly the opposite of what senior citizens (the most dependable voters out there) want them to do.
They also realize that abortion is the key to destroying the Healthcare Rationing bill.
It’s going to be impossible for Democrats to hide the fact that the current president wants federal tax money to pay for abortions.
A great many Americans have a problem with the idea that the money the IRS collects from them will be used to pay for the abortion of babies coast to coast. That is exactly what is going to happen if Democrats pass the Healthcare Rationing bill. Elderly people and innocent babies will be killed by the federal government, using YOUR tax dollars to do it. Euthanasia, eugenics, you name it. That’s what the current president and his Leftist goons are all about.
The fear over at Daily Kos is that Republicans will stop being the Party of Stupid long enough to clearly nail Democrats on the abortion funding issue — in such a way that every Democrat voting for this bill will be doomed politically in coming elections. The “Blue Dogs” in particular can’t possibly win re-election ever again, if they go on record supporting the use of federal tax dollars to fund abortions and the denial of Medicare to senior citizens.
The trolls and goblins at Kos are gnashing their teeth and pulling their hair over this, flinging macaroni and cheese all over their mothers’ basements, ranting and raving and not quite knowing what to do. They are so close to their goal of destroying this country, ruining America financially, and advancing their euthanasia and eugenics agendas that they see their great victory being snatched away by the ghost of Rahm Emanuel and the tricks he used to pull in Congress.
“Not fair! Not fair! Not fair!”, they all shout, like small children upset things they did to siblings (with great glee) are now being done to them when the shoe is on the other foot.
It’s hilarious to watch.
Who knows what Republicans are up to. Nobody ever got rich betting Republicans would show spine, save the day, and do the right thing…not when there’s any option at all to crumble, melt into soggy pools, and back away from everything they believe in so that maybe — just maybe — the media affection they seek so desperately might come their way for a moment. Will they use the “Motions to Recommit” to lay the foundation for the ouster of every Democrat in office.
We sure hope so.
Is it a good thing the Daily Kos lunatics are up in arms?
Damn straight.
But, we’re waiting to see how the Party of Stupid finds a way to fumble what could very well be a fatal blow to the political careers of a great many Leftists.
Here comes more hatemail: the Left REALLY doesn't want us to teach you how to take down the DNC's fundraising efforts
Today proved yet again how we know something we ask you to do is effective, and if it has the potential to really damage the Left.
Whenever the Left doesn’t like something we are up to, the hatemail starts flowing in, and DemocraticUnderground starts posting more threads asking its members to attack us in any way possible.
They did this when we rallied you to help Scott Brown win in Massachusetts — and we all know how effective you were in that.
So, because of that, the Left hit back by attacking us directly, on personal levels, because we were too effective at countering them.
It’s fascinating, but less than an hour after we asked you to research who, exactly, is funding Louise Slaughter’s political career we started receiving more of the DemocraticUnderground’s patented hatemail. More of the “we hope you get AIDS and die” stuff, more of the “we know where you live in Chicago” stuff, more of the usual threats from these people.
That means we’re really onto something big.
It took them almost a full month to attack us for supporting Scott Brown. One post on Louise Slaughter, and just an hour later we get this kind of response from the troll and goblin kingdoms.
Why is that?
If you think we were motivated to work hard to compile all of this information on the DNC’s Donors before, well, we hope all of our readers over at the DemocraticUnderground know that since you want us to stop so badly, we’re just going to have to work EVEN HARDER to really pound this project home.
Because if those goblins don’t want us to do something, then we think we’ve found the thing we should be doing.
We hope you help us. Every bit of energy on this seems to drive these macaroni-and-cheese-eating, mother’s-basement-living, toenail-biting, lunatics crazier than they already are.
Who are Louise Slaughter's main political funding sources?
Louise Slaughter: the face of Leftist overreach and corruption.
Let’s use Louise Slaughter as a case study, and see how well we can investigate who her main political funding sources are.
All of this information is publicly available, but it does not turn up automatically in casual searches. So, the people funding the Left can indeed be identified, but it takes legwork and determination the regular person doesn’t usually possess. ALL of this data can be found — for FREE — just using your computer if you are inclined to spend the time looking for it.
What we want to find are Louise Slaughter’s PRIVATE donors — individuals, not corporations (this seems to be a point of big confusion for some of you, but we don’t believe a writing campaign against big corporations will be effective; we think, for our purposes, alienating wealthy individuals and small firms, like law firms, from Slaughter’s donor rolls will prove most effective, since there are a smaller number of decision-makers involved in cutting off those funds to Slaughter. We assume large corporations would make those contributions at a Board Level, so there’s more variables in play and much more legwork needed to be effective in reaching the right people…THAT can be saved for a second round, after we get the private individuals to stop supporting her).
The Donors we most want to identify are the wealthy socialists who sent Slaughter to Washington so she could spend her time there dreaming up ways to circumvent the Constitution and enable martial law and government by dictatorial fiat. They would also include the law firms that bundle money for Slaughter, pressuring their partners and associates to give the maximum to keep this Leftist in office. Other small businesses with a limited number of decision-makers would also be good for the list.
Our thinking is this: if public ire was directed at the big donors who keep Slaughter flush with cash, and the public started writing, calling, emailing, and faxing these people to ask them why they are financially backing Louise Slaughter’s push to rip our Constitution to shreds, then a good portion of these people — those who do not want the public contacting them on a daily basis — will stop writing checks to Louise Slaughter.
Just say we can discourage 20% of her big Donors from supporting her. Those Donors probably brought along a great many small dollar contributions with them as well. Every one of those wealthy people has a staff. The staff knows to stay in the boss’ good graces means donating where the boss donates, even if it is only $20 or so. Essentially, we could alienate not only big time socialites from Slaughter, but also we have the potential to take-down many small dollar collection rings she’s benefitted from as well.
What Louise Slaughter tried to do to the Constitution with her “Slaughter Slam” deserves a slap back from the Republic.
If you are angry at what the Democrats are doing and want to do put that energy somewhere constructive today, focus your attention on research into Louise Slaughter and who is funding her.
Here’s how you can do it:
(1) Go to http://www.newsmeat.com/ It is the be-all and end-all for federal campaign contribution research. Get very familiar with it. We’re working on a tutorial to help guide you on how to get the best information out of it. Please add comments to this thread your experiences with it that would be good in a tutorial.
(2) Go to www.OpenSecrets.org Similar to Newsmeat. Please do the same thing, and as you get familiar with it add in comments your tips so that we can compile a tutorial that teaches people how to effectively research who is funding the Left.
(3) Run Bing searches for “Louise Slaughter fundraiser”, “Louise Slaughter” campaign event, “Louise Slaughter” co-chair event, etc. trying to pull up all the articles you can find on campaign fundraising events Louise Slaughter has held. When we find these events, we need to read carefully for any names that keep popping up as Chairs or Co-Chairs or “Friends” of the event. These are wealthy people who raise all the money for Slaughter. They are the ones who are charged with bringing as many people to the event as possible, requiring all their friends and neighbors to pony up the $1,000 or $2,500 or whatever it costs to get into the event to have their photo taken with Slaughter and whatever luminaries she’s brought with her to entice attendance. If we can start alienating her bundlers from her, and get the Chairs of her events to stop hosting fundraisers for her, we can bankrupt her re-election campaign rather quickly.
(4) Use this thread to research all negative things you can about Slaughter. We can use them in our letters to her Donors telling them exactly why they need to stop giving Louise Slaughter any more campaign contributions.
(5) The next step is to research the associates, neighbors, and friends of Louise Slaughter’s Donors and ask them to ask their friends to stop giving to Louise Slaughter. We think that will really unnerve a lot of these socialites, if their FRIENDS and NEIGHBORS start getting mail too, telling them all about what the Donors are up to. We bet that makes them stop writing checks to Slaughter licketysplit.
This very same operation needs to be done for every Democrat in office who is voting with the Red Queen Nancy and her insane plot to ram through Healthcare Rationing in the House. After we’ve collected data on all House Members, we’ll move onto the Senate.
We’re doing our level best to find a very convenient way to organize all of this data, as we think it will prove invaluable to the Tea Party Movement in particular. Achieving all of the goals of the Tea Party, in particular, means taking down and dismantling permanently the DNC as it currently exists. We’ll work hard to create a resource to do just that, but we need your help doing the research for it, as we just can’t do everything ourselves.
Together, we can achieve what’s never been done before…and actually put the Left out of business, by driving away their Donors.
More proof going after Big Donors is the way to take down the Left: ACORN Example
Bertha Lewis reacts to the fact large, wealthy donors have stopped funding ACORN.
We’ve been telling you about a revelation we had a few weeks ago that we believe could be game-changing in politics as we know it right now — something that, surprisingly, Republicans have never done to the Left and regular Americans never thought to do. Namely, to expose and pressure the large Donors to the Democrat Party, the people who are funding the Leftists in Congress right now who are doing so much damage to our Constitution and nation.
All of us here have fundraised for Democrats and Liberal nonprofits (schools, hospitals, art institutions, theaters, etc.) for years. Chiefly, we’ve worked in the fields of prospect research, grant writing, donor maintenance, and new donor cultivation.
Nonprofits spend a great deal of money to bring funds into the cause — courting wealthy people, building relationships with them, and then making sure these people are perpetually happy is a full time job for a nonprofit.
The same is true for a political campaign.
Large Donors are very easily spooked.
Trust us, many of these people will refuse to donate any longer if they didn’t like the sauce the shrimp was served with at the last gala. These are socialites and ladder climbers who pay the admission prices to political events because they want to be seen with powerful people and have their photos taken. They donate to nonprofits they think will make them seem like saints in their communities, and land them on the society page where they can make Marilyn Vanderwald or Tuppance Breesford jealous they were photographed and instead of THEM.
Our revelation is that the DNC, ACORN, and Leftist politicians all depend on the same kinds of wealthy socialites and rich kooks that nonprofits depend on for survival. We’ve seen various scandals, like with the United Way in the 90s, scare large donors away in droves (because these people don’t keep funding an organization once it’s no longer socially advantageous to be associated with it). We’ve also seen dramatic drops in donations whenever an organization like the Shedd Aquarium or Art Institute puts on a poor event that disappoints its donors. People will find something more fun and personally rewarding to write their checks to.
We believe if the Tea Party Movement, in particular, set its sites on a nationwide level at the Democrats’ large Donors — wealthy private individuals and big law firms in particular — that donations to the DNC and Leftist candidates would dry up as these rich kooks ran as fast as possible from the source of the negative attention they started receiving.
Just imagine if Amanda Huggenkiss, large Democrat Donor, started receiving thousands of emails, phone calls, faxes, and letters at her home and office asking her why she was funding the socialist takeover of America. What if all of Huggenkiss’s neighbors started receiving mail asking them how they could live next to a woman who was funding the destruction of the country? Huggenkiss, a socialite, would be BEYOND EMBARRASSED, and would more likely than not stop donating to the DNC lest she find herself uninvited from other events around town — where people would not want her around lest they attract the public’s ire as well.
“Get me Amanda Huggenkiss on the phone! I really need Amanda Huggenkiss!”, we imagine Rahm Emanuel barking at his subordinates, trying his best to bring Huggenkiss back into the fold after her donations ceased. ”Who do I have to $%^& to get Amanda Huggenkiss around here?”.
We think once these large Donors would be scared off Democrat campaigns, they might be scared out of political donating for GOOD. Democrats could lose a whole generation of wealthy Donors. There’s even potential to cripple the DNC permanently, since children learn their donating habits from their parents. If Amanda Huggenkiss stops donating, then her children, Brenden and Cordelia and little Skip, won’t grow up to be large Democrat Donors when they get older either.
Every day there is some sign we see that this is really a strategy that could indeed work, and could actually destroy the DNC.
Today, it was this article on BigGovernment about ACORN having to file for bankruptcy because its private funding sources dried up. Now, Democrats have worked overtime to get the federal funding to ACORN restored, and Eric Holder, notorious race-baiter that he is, bent over backwards to drop all legal actions against ACORN wherever he could, but no one was able to draw the large private Donors back to ACORN once it became socially undesirable to be associated with the group. Private foundations and wealthy individuals did not want to take the social risk of being associated with this Leftist criminal enterprise.
If the Tea Party Movement can make it socially undesirable for wealthy people and large firms to be caught donating to Democrats, then the DNC will go bankrupt just like ACORN.
This is, clearly, not a project Republicans will tackle on their own, for whatever reason.
But, we think it’s something independents, moderates, and conservatives can do for America that would rid us of the DNC once and for all.
We’re just a couple of guys in Boystown who have this idea, and know from our experiences in the nonprofit and fundraising world that this will work. The DNC declared war against all of us personally because we refused to drink the Kool-Aid and toe the line when it came to the current president and his socialist agenda. So, we think it’s only fitting that a group of gay Hillary guys do everything we possibly can to permanently destroy the Democrat Party. We’ve wanted this to happen since May 31st, 2008 when the DNC’s Rules & Bylaws Committee Meeting proved the Democrat Party as we knew it no longer existed. The actions Democrats are taking in Washington in pursuit of Healthcare Rationing and the ruination of our economy forced us to conceive a concrete plan for ridding America of the DNC for keeps.
This is our plan: expose, pressure, and alienate large Donors from the DNC to cut off its funding and cripple it.
What happened to ACORN proves the plan will work.
Now, we just need your help with tapping into the Tea Party spirit and teaching regular Americans about the Democrats’ fundraising world and just how vulnerable the DNC is when we upset the Huggenkisses of the world…enough so that these socialites give the Dems one expensive kissoff.
The Red Queen Gone Mad: Rules Committee Meeting Descends Into Chaos
Via Drudge Report
All Hell is breaking out in Washington today.
The Red Queen, Nancy Pelosi, is desperately searching for a Jabberwocky, Jub Jub Bird, or Bandersnatch to enforce her will, but increasingly no one is listening to her.
The Rules Committee is being stopped by basic civics — the kind that we all learned in Catholic school many years ago, thank you very much Sister Francis Borgia — and the Leftists’ assault on our Constitution is being thwarted by people who can actually read.
When told that tens of thousands of American voters had descended on the Capital to protest her illegal maneuverings and that the public was revolting, the Red Queen Nancy announced, “Of course the public’s revolting. I’ve been saying that for years. Revolting, the lot of them. My dear friend and ally Harry Reid always talks about how bad the public smells, too. Why should I listen to any of this stinky smelly people when my feet are tired and I need a nice warm pig belly to soothe them?”
Democrats are doing their level best to attempt to pull every trick they can conjure, Cheshire Cat style, out of thin air, to Demon Pass this monstrosity of a bill without accepting responsibility for their actions.
But, basic CIVICS is stopping them.
Thank you James Madison.
