"Obama is a F*****G FRAUD"?

This is a troll diary from Daily Kos. Here is the author's other post

Me a troll? Haha....(1+ / 0-)

I put down good money, and likely more than most on this site, for this guy.

I need to admit that the R's had something right from 2007 about Obama:

Great speech-maker, but no ability to get much done.

He should have been a Baptist preacher or a civil rights activist. He would have done well. President? Not so much.

He's earned his legacy; first bi-racial President. Great moment in history.

Now move the fuck on and let Hillary get shit done.

calling for it to be hidden because it was locked once. I was on the jury.

IMO, it was a dumbass alert and I voted not to hide it.

Edit: post survived 4-2.

I thought you tried to at least maintain the pretense of non-bias and consistency.

Original was a whine about DU.

The "community" can become anything that gets enough trolls to post and vote on juries.

A petty tit for tat. Someone using alert to "win" an argument they're losing badly. Using alert to silence opposing views.
Only 1 in 10 appear to have some degree of merit...obvious troll, over the top name-calling...a clear violation of community standards that the alert should be saved for. Using Alert as a debate tool is very petulant and immature.

to be a cut and paste hatchet job. If you look at the initial anti-Obama comments, and then the rest of the piece it seems to come from 2 different writers. That may be why the blog post was banned. It looked to me, very first impression, that someone took a story or portion of a story and then added the bit about their working for Obama and contributing to his campaign, etc.

She would have been facing the same level of obstructionism and the same level of bigotry, except that instead of race baiting the President, it would have been non-stop sexism from misogynistic shit from pigs quite frankly on both sides of the aisle.
