Watch out for Karl Rove and his trolls

Rove and his lackeys will do anything to establish his goal of "100 Year Majority." The result if he wins? An overtly fascist and racist America. Here's his August 24, 2011 email to his "people." And don't let anyone tell you this is faked. Rove and the GOP will lie, cheat, steal, and more to get what they want. Beware, be very aware.

Hello Gang,
.......

1. Yep

I've seen some of those around here, especially lately.

[ananda]

4. Yeah, a lot of false equivalency stuff ...

I hate that.

[OregonBlue]

2. I've seen lots of these:

4. Effective memes/talking points:

"Obama is a DINO."
"Obama is no different than a Republican."
"Obama has sold us out."
"It feels good to vote your conscience."
"It feels good to stick to your principles."
"Don't be trapped into voting for the lesser of two evils."
"We need to punish Obama and the Democrats by not voting."
"We'd be better off with a Republican in the White House."
"Obama is a war-mongering, torturing, corporatist shill."

10. Better Believe It

[Snarkoleptic]

22. Yep, BBI was skilled in his/her craft.

And ramped up a huge post count before reaching the tipping point.

6. We read that shit right here almost every day.

13. Are you saying

That we shouldn't have consciences or principles and use them to make political decisions? Really?

Is that just you or is that a Democratic Party position?

[NNN0LHI]

14. What the poster wrote speaks for itself

None of it seemed confusing to me.

Pretty clear actually. Clear as an azure sky.

Perhaps you should read it again?

[nichomachus]

15. OK -- I read it again

Bad things to say:

"It feels good to vote your conscience."
"It feels good to stick to your principles."

Pretty clear to me. Message I get from that is don't vote your conscience and don't stick to your principles.

20. It makes things a lot simpler. nt

5. "Both parties are the same...... both parties are contolled by corporatists.....

the Green party looks interesting......"

some of this stuff definitely seems familiar.

[SidDithers]

7. Fun stuff...

Thanks for posting.

8. I see KKKarl Rove writing this

"Look, we suckered all those nutjob Christian fundies out of their votes and their money. LIberals are almost as easy to fool!"



Yeah right LOL

[HopeHoops]

9. YO! ROVE! Fuck you and everyone who looks like you.

[scheming daemons]

11. the frustrating part is when you call these out and you get alerted on

Our DU mods have to be smarter about blocking these trolls.

[NNN0LHI]

12. The mods are doing a great job at spotting this stuff

Someone was alerting on every post I made in the Lounge. No matter what I posted.

The mods canceled the frivolous alerts and told me what was going on.

I suspect the same thing has been going on here too but no one has told me about it yet.

16. so everyone is supposed to say they believe Rove really wrote that

otherwise theyre trolls?

Ok then, I really believe he wrote that. Thanks for posting that thing which I really believe Karl Rove wrote. Im not just saying that, I really believe it.

[Bellerophon]

17. most lieky it is

Fake. How can anyone even verify it's authenticity? ????

Leaping to conclusions didn't work out so well for Dan Rather

[NNN0LHI]

18. Dan Rather was not leaping to conclusions

What he reported was the truth.

Odd that you would suggest otherwise.

19. i was

Referring to the fake 60 minutes documents that they didn't bother to verify....

23. so this person told us Karl Rove wrote these words

did that person tell us the truth, or did that person lie to us? Does it matter?
