Ann Richards is being viciously attacked at HuffPost
Trolls who make Freepers look like Cub Scouts are trashing Governor Richards' character and defiling her memory:

Can we rise to her defense?

Give 'em hell here

1. HuffPo is stiff...
With trolls these days. I have $5.00 that says they are nowhere to be seen on Nov. 8th.

I smell astroturf. Professional astroturf.

2. I second that
and some of it is being orchestrated at those Scaife funded, professionally led, campus "student" conservative clubs.

You can generally spot professional trolls pretty easily and college trolls even more easily.

I was surprised and glad to see that... you gotta be a creep if you depart from the freeps.

5. A couple of nitwits who can't spell--flag them as abusive
and be done with it. Lie down with shoemaking dogs, and you get fleas who tap dance all day....

7. Looks like the majority of them are done by someone named "Shoemaker"
..Although there are a couple other idiot freeps contributing.

So what happens when you hit the "flag" button on one of the comments there -- do they take action?

8. Unlike DU, they're pretty slow and inconsistent at HuffPost
The discussions tend to get down and dirty, but half the fun is watching the trolls get squashed.

9. Thanks for the info..
Shows how disgusting low freepers are to verbally attack someone who has just passed away.
