How about a list of boards that have threads posted to them?

Here are the ones I know about:

Civis Proeliator posted on Free Republic.

Rev.DeadCorpse posted on AR-15.com

Patrick A. Krott posted on Ted Nugent's Talkback board.

I think we should keep an active list of boards that we.ve told about this. That way no one will assume something like, "Oh well, Joe always posts on Glocktalk, so he must have posted a thread there." Besides, someone will think of a board that everyone else forgot.

I'll start. Who would like to post the threads on democraticunderground.com and dailycos.com?

I can do that. Palm Beach County and Broward County (Fort Lauderdale) have plenty of gun shows. I work weekends, but I can get some Saturdays off. Of course, this will be quite a bit in the future. Did you take a look at the How to Organize A Protest thread I posted?

This website is called Savethe2nd.org

And some people still wonder whether trolls are on DU to post about only ONE subject!

[emdee]

1. That's pathetic! nt

nt

[Cant trust em]

2. I think that gun issues are what pushes some moderate dems

over the dark side. Gun issues are central to a lot of people.

[zanne]

3. And it pushes progressives to be more pro-gun control. nt

[Cant trust em]

4. I'm for gun control, so I'm not the one you need to convince n/t

[zanne]

6. Just sayin'

[michreject]

32. The number 1 issue

for me. Without the 2nd, there wouldn't be a 1st, 4th or 5th.

[galadrium]

41. totally agree. gun control is inconsistent with being pro-civil liberties

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

5. No surprises here.

Someone posted a message on "Guns" yesterday that made mention of "AR receivers" and building up a stock of them.

Well, where I come from, when people start talking about AR(AR-15) receivers and buying a bunch of them, it is usually to mod them to full auto. I felt that message hewed well past the invisible line of acceptible content and subject matter. Apparently, some did not agree.

But trolls with agendas? We are stiff with them.

[beevul]

26. Its quite common...

Its quite common for people to build thier own AR from the reciever up.

What you are talking about, manufacturing a fully automatic weapon, will land you in club fed for a ten year stint.


Its actually pretty widespread among the precision shooting crowd.

[Supersedeas]

42. repigs trying to disguise their filth....good luck with that republiskanks

[Junkdrawer]

7. Shocked. I am Shocked....

Are you saying there are actually R/W pro-gunners who pretend to be Democrats and merely SAY they are Democrats to try to prevent other Democrats from embracing a pro-gun control stance?

Never! This is the Internet and everyone is EXACTLY who they say they are.

[zanne]

8. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

But I really didn't think that a simple Google search would come up with this. Whoever posted that just wasn't very bright. I'm series! He's a moran!

[beevul]

27. Why would they do such a thing?

For every vote a Democrat gains from a gun owner, a repub loses a vote.


Why would a repub come to DU to try and change any Democrats to the pro-gun position?


I could see posing as an anti-gunner to make us look bad though.


:shrug:

[Junkdrawer]

30. A tiny pro-gun, pro-Republican minority has done a GREAT job...

convincing Democrats to drop the gun control issue.

And the funny part is that no matter how pro-gun a Democrat becomes, the NRA et al will STILL fight them at the polls:

http://www.nraila.org/Issues/Articles/Read.aspx?id=272&issue=047

[sergeiAK]

33. Um, Sen. Clinton is not pro-gun, by any stretch.

Her voting record shows that. The NRA not liking her is like NARAL not liking Huckabee.

There are pro-gun Democrats. The NRA endorses them. The problem is that there aren't many of them.

If we, as a party, could past the gun-control albatross, and embrace *all* civil rights, we would be much better off. Many gun owners vote Republican based on that issue alone, when they'd prefer to vote for a Democrat on the rest of the platform. We've made it all too easy to paint us as the party that espouses "turn them in", based on a few nutjobs in Congress. Fixing that would take a major support group from the Republicans.

[beevul]

36. I ask again...

"A tiny pro-gun, pro-Republican minority has done a GREAT job... convincing Democrats to drop the gun control issue."


What would republicans stand to gain if Democrats dropped the gun issue?

[zanne]

47. Yup. For all the reasoning some "liberal" gun people do....

It's still largely a Right Wing agenda and nothing will satisfy the gun lobby but social conservatism and more money for gun manufacturers. Gun sales have gone down in the past few years,so the geniuses with the conservative think tanks are trying to find ways to get more women to buy guns...especially single women with kids. They're absolutely demonic. Instead of "terra", they use "Danger"!.

[catnhatnh]

9. I believe it....

I took a look at this on the guns forum yesterday and there is a crew of 4-6 new low count posters with in-your face attitudes....like under 2 months and under 250 posts...look for posters with weapon designations for screen names.....

[askeptic]

10. Hope you're not arguing for a hive mind here...

...for some kind of notion that to be a progressive one must be for removing the rights of individuals to own guns.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

18. Ladies and gentlemen, Exhibit A. -nt

[Richard Steele]

21. Wow- 25 posts since 2002, and THAT was your choice for #26?

There's little room for doubt in a scenario like that.

[seabeyond]

11. yes. this is the mentality (preteen) of the republican.

i have posted with republicans and i have seen this mentality. i was thinking of this today per a thread and i gotta say, i have not seen a lot of interest to disrupt the opposing boards in all the years i have been on du but have consistently seen republican advocate this behavior. it is odd. it is childish. but the worse, .... they play a gotcha game and they are the only ones playing. i dont give a fuck if they post here, if i interact with what they say in a serious conversation when they are merely playing a game. i am not playing. weird. and childish

[beevul]

28. Republicans like paul helmke - president of the Brady Campaign

Paul Helmke has served as President of the Brady Campaign/Center to Prevent Gun Violence since mid-July 2006. Prior to this, Helmke was a lawyer in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he served as mayor from 1988-2000.

Helmke was President of the United States Conference of Mayors in 1997-1998 and served on the Board of the National League of Cities. He is a past-President of the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns and the national Republican Mayors and Local Officials organization. Helmke was the Republican nominee for the United States Senate in Indiana in 1998.

[seabeyond]

31. your point to this post? n/t

[beevul]

39. Did I just get asked to explain myself for bashing republicans on DU? N/T

[seabeyond]

43. nooooo. you were asked to explain yourself because i dont see the point of the post

and since you are saying your post is bashing republicans, well, .... i dont see where the bash is in your post. i could be obtuse, i may not be reading correctly, but i dont get the reasoning sharing this man resume with me.

bash away. i dont care

[beevul]

45. You said...

You said "yes. this is the mentality (preteen) of the republican."


To which I replied "Republicans like paul helmke - president of the Brady Campaign" implying that he too has the mentality of a preteen. Thats the bash.

I then went on to provide ample proof that nhe was what I said he was - that being a repuke - hence the sharing of his resume.

[seabeyond]

50. wink... lol. gotcha.

wasnt being difficult, just didnt understand.

[Quantess]

12. I don't post on Free Republic.

Am I weird? I have better things to do.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

15. Those people are pitiful. They don't have lives.

The fighting 101st Keyboarders. They are chicken and won't go to Iraq and fight that war they love, either.

Some people have nothing better to do than follow DU around and make snarky, incoherent, unsubstantiated and misspelled comments on our comments. Truly sad.

[jimshoes]

13. Maybe we can get George Soros to buy

freak repiglic and get him to turn it into an alternative lifestyle dating service.

[blondeatlast]

14. Yes, please post at dailycos.com. Bill Cosby is desperately in search of his career

and it'll do his heart good! :rofl:

[Junkdrawer]

16. Want to know what the NRA says about Clinton and Obama?

http://www.nraila.org/Issues/Articles/Read.aspx?id=272&issue=047

[zanne]

20. Unreal. They're not even happy with Hillary supporting the 2nd Amendment.

It's like trying to have a conversation with crazy people.

[sergeiAK]

35. It's not that they're not happy, it's that they don't belive her.

As her voting record does not back her up on this.

[idovoodoo]

40. But YOU don'tt support it either...so that puts you smack in their camp.

Speaking of crazy people...

[villager]

17. this would explain the nuttiness and the viciousness in the gun forum....

n/t

[applegrove]

19. No surprise.

[Rosemary2205]

22. I have already gotten one of them tombstoned.

I visit a very small board that was created when MSNBC shut down theirs. It started with a good mix of left right and middle, but over time the board owner has seen fit to ban pretty much everyone but the worst of the RW whackjobs. I think they keep the 4 or 5 non whackjobs around just to keep if from getting too awful boring. (10 straight pages of Clenis gets boring even for whackjobs)

Anyhoo, of of those little suckers infiltrated DU and, being a RW Moran used the same name he used on the other board. I sent the mods links to his posts on the other board and within minutes he was doin the dirt nap.

Almost as good as having 2 DUers inform me I'm on thier ignore list! TWO!!!! (Whooohooo!) :)

[zanne]

24. Good for you!

I wonder how many posters on DU are "real"? I've noticed that some of the newer ones only post in one forum. It kind of gives them away.

[UTUSN]

23. No PROBLEMO!1 We've got great wingnut-DAR!1 They won't last a couple of posts!1 n/t

[zanne]

29. Unfortunately, they hide well in the Gun forum. nt

[Initech]

25. Really? Ted Nugent has enough fans to warrant his own message board?

:rofl:

[stanwyck]

38. Ted also has over 30 screen names

so he can post to himself all day long. Hey, he's got nothing else to do.

[zanne]

49. True. He's gotta be pretty bored. nt

[xchrom]

34. kick

[npincus]

37. What's their point?

Too much free time?

[lame54]

44. Damn - they're on to me

:sarcasm:

46. That video is on my favorites list, lame54.

But you need a better username!

[lonestarnot]

51. What is the comcast thingy search bar on your computer?

[lonestarnot]

55. Well?

Did you see this? ah nevermind.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

48. Sounds like the Tiny Penis Club to me.

Insecure and blustering phony macho.

[nadinbrzezinski]

52. Seen them and they are funny to a point

really

[L. Coyote]

53. Sounds like a cover-up for the paid professional trolls LOL

"Just because you are being followed does not mean you are paranoid."

You might be a leader! :rofl:

[butterfly77]

54. Good maybe they will learn something..

[Echo In Light]

59. Improve their grammatical skills? lol

[Quantess]

56. #1 I don't give a shit about:

...the guns forum (I never read it). I like the gun laws that we Americans enjoy, and I appreciate the 2nd amendment. I don't really think most Americans are gun-wackadoos. I actually think that there might be some counseling options for Americans who are obsessed with the 2nd Amendment.
There really are more important things:

How about, the dog you love?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

57. And they say I have too much free time

Organizing troll postings on other websites. Wow.

"OK, I'll egg the cars in the mall lot, Ted will toilet paper the trees and Milt, you'll be stealing hubcaps."

:baha:

[Echo In Light]

58. I'm just still amazed that Nugent is such a rabid, intolerant, pro violence right winger

Remember when his righty rants began receiving media attention many years ago, and thinking, wow, that's the Free For All/Cat Scratch Fever/Journey To The Center of Your Mind {Amboy Dukes} guy?!
