There was a thread yesterday noting that H.A. Goodman-aka Baghdad Bob

[riversedge]

seemed to be silent lately (or at least no one has posted his silly outlandish article on DU as usually happens).
Anyway--I just saw this TWEET. The delusional Goodman is very busy tweeting out tweets over and over about his new article on Huff Post. By the Way--I think this article did end up on DU. I did not read but title looks familiar.

This man needs help,as @HillaryClinton would say please be kind to one another resist the forces trying to divide us

1. The loser strikes again! I guess he has not seen the latest polls.

[sharp_stick]

2. Isn't he the original berniebro?

When I see his deluded spew accompanied by the usual fawning adoration of commenters on huffpost I can't help but think of a future Jim Jones and a jungle encampment.

10. Don't know that. But he certainly is one of the worst of them.

[obamanut2012]

3. He has been bonkers on Facebook, too

posting all of this, and ragespitting against Hillary being evil, and how Bernie can still crush her.

[riversedge]

11. Then he is certainly one the Bernibros!!

[Rose Siding]

4. He's just drumming up readers in hopes of a pick up from Salon

They pay for his fantasy writing. As capitalists do.

7. Salon can go to hell

WTH happened to that rag anyway?

They really dove off into the deep end with the Bernouts. SMH

13. Don't know

I used to be a paying subscriber until they started posting Glenn Greenwald's stuff.

14. It will be a cold day in hell

before those creep ever see a penny from me, that's for damn sure!

Used to visit their site almost every day until they became the bernie bros version of The Drudge Report!

[workinclasszero]

5. That freakin idiot is

a Rand Paul lovin libertarian/republican.

He will be voting for Herr Trump in the fall, you can count on that!

[Haveadream]

6. Yes!

I saw that. He is obsessed with Hillary. His article on HuffPo's Queer Voices praises Caitlin Jenner for her position that Hillary is "a liar who has accomplished nothing." It reads like a RW conspiracy screed.



The good news is, most of the commenters are absolutely trouncing him with *facts*.

8. That's a click bait title if I've ever seen one.

Titles that end in "here's why" or "you won't believe what happens next" are so obvious, but people keep clicking them.

9. Goodman is a scumbag! Any time you are starting to feel too good about your fellow

human beings just read some of his hateful, vile crap. You will soon be brought back to the reality of the disgust you rightfully hold for some of them. Goodman leads that parade.

[hrmjustin]

12. The poor thing!

[wildeyed]

15. I don't think it is even a person.

I Googled pretty carefully. It did not exist until the 2012 "Liberal Democrats for Rand Paul" post, other than a few post about Israel on some obscure website and bad fantasy writing. His personal "bio" is obscure. Does not say exactly where it went to school or when it graduated. It has no LinkedIn either, something ALL freelancers keep up to date. So HA is definitely a pen name.

I think it is a word map aggregator that takes the Tweets of Sanders and supporters, finds the popular keywords and phrase, mixes them with a bunch of logical fallacies, then uses a computer to write the articles. Sounds crazy, but none of this is technologically difficult now. Much of the content we read online is computer generated now, and we don't even know it.

16. I wouldn't be surprised

So many Salon articles are written by a "Salon political writer', the only qualification seems to be a desire to trash Hillary. One writer graduated in 2015, so we know how many campaign cycles she's been through.
