1. Don't find it odd at all

I suspect the HRC team has paid posters who out out the daily meme until it gets enough leverage to be feed to the media. Paying posters is their plan and I suspect they have been doing it for a while!

4. I just found it odd how well timed this one was.

It was as if it was the paid talking point of the day, and they already had the writer lined up to peddle that. I guess the more interesting point is it tells us the blog/article writer is in Hillary's pocket.

6. Okay truth is for me it is 42 years!

I turned 60 this year and first voted in 1974 and voted for Jerry Brown governor of California. I voted for Carter in 76 and campaigned for him as well. Marched in several peace marches to end the Vietnam war long before I could vote. And during the horrible first President Bush I organized peace march's -- No Blood For Oil.

As to the others maybe they are all 60 too. Don't know for sure. But calling us liars cause you can't stand the idea that some old folks think different than you is odd!

Well off to work another 10-12 hour shift!

8. Well, consider that the hillary campaign just got 1 million dollars for online trolling...

courtesy of "Correct the Record". You'll be seeing a lot more stuff like this until that 1 million disappears. Possibly a little longer.

3. Of course they are paid talking points.

Some here seem to have old scripts - they are whining about Benghazi. More clumsy than buying twiiter followera and facebook likes.

RW smears! Before I do the Full Ignore minuet, I list the things that Hillary is on record as proudly standing for - and remind them that those things are GOP values, not Democratic values.

5. the 'Five Stages of Grief' posts had to have been kick-started a few times the last week or so...

until the shills hit their stride and finally got one to hook...

the poster of the 'stages' post above must have been a 'new hire'...

newbies are always so energetic and fervent...but sometimes they haven't quite got the program down...and it seems that some of them don't get any better at it even after posting in their own OP endlessly...

That there is a psych-ops going on here. It is apparent not only here, but in the blogosphere.

Most Bernie supporters are wise to it. We should not even post on their threads.
