Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Great. He's mentally ill too...

I agree 100%. Every gun owner should just turn in all his guns to the first local LEO he can find and then vote for Hillary. She will save our world. Who needs freedoms anyway.

I'm not sure congenital lying constitutes a mental illness, except for those who embrace it as a preferred trait for POTUS, but Trump is without a doubt the biggest and most frequent liar on any stage. I guess that's what makes him so cuddly and admirable to some and despicable to others.

No, that's what trumpians have done by foisting Tramp upon the republican party, 60% of which did not vote for the charlatan. Tramp has correctly opined, it's the Republican Party, not the conservative party. Hint there.

Careful what you ask for....

And please....don't give him any ideas....the thought of voting for Trump is embarrassing enough...

Rob, just checking, are you one of Hillary's paid trolls?

Hillary Super PAC Creates Paid Troll Army to Counter Online Attacks

“A paid army of ‘former reporters, bloggers’,” et al.

Hillary Clinton

In keeping with the lumbering awkwardness of Hillary Clinton’s presidential primary campaign that has included herding reporters like cattle and adopting a phony Southern accent, Team Hillary has concocted a new means of countering widespread unflattering comments about Hillary online. Unlike Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, Hillary does not enjoy an enthusiastic following even among those who support her, so she does not have the army of online people voluntarily engaged in defending her against attacks from both the left and the right.

The solution? A vast network of highly paid online pro-Hillary trolls funded by a David Brock super PAC, “Correct the Record,” that will be coordinating with the Hillary campaign. The plan, apparently, was to hire a bunch of people to do what other candidates’ supporters do for free . . . and to make it look grassroots and organic.

The LA Times reports:

When the Internet’s legions of Hillary hecklers steal away to chat rooms and Facebook pages to vent grievances about Clinton, express revulsion toward Clinton and launch attacks on Clinton, they now may find themselves in a surprising place – confronted by a multimillion dollar super PAC working with Clinton.

Hillary Clinton’s well-heeled backers have opened a new frontier in digital campaigning, one that seems to have been inspired by some of the Internet’s worst instincts. Correct the Record, a super PAC coordinating with Clinton’s campaign, is spending some $1 million to find and confront social media users who post unflattering messages about the Democratic front-runner.

The plan comes as Clinton operatives grapple with the reality that her supporters just aren’t as engaged and aggressive online as are her detractors inside and outside the Democratic Party.

The lack of engagement is one of Clinton’s bigger tactical vulnerabilities, particularly when compared with rivals like Donald Trump, whose viral social media attacks are legion, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is backed by a passionate army of media-savvy millennials.

According to the LA Times, ” a paid army of ‘former reporters, bloggers, public affairs specialists, designers; and others” will form this paid Hillary troll network.

“It is meant to appear to be coming organically from people and their social media networks in a groundswell of activism, when in fact it is highly paid and highly tactical,” said Brian Donahue, chief executive of the consulting firm Craft Media/Digital.

“That is what the Clinton campaign has always been about,” he said. “It runs the risk of being exactly what their opponents accuse them of being: a campaign that appears to be populist but is a smokescreen that is paid and brought to you by lifetime political operatives and high-level consultants.”

Brock, founder of the progressive organization Media Matters, is behind this latest attempt to astroturf Hillary support and enthusiasm.

The LA Times continues:

The task force designed to stop the spread of online misinformation and misogyny is the brainchild of David Brock, a Clinton confidant who once made a career of spreading such misinformation and misogynistic attacks against her and Bill Clinton. His critics say he kept his taste for dirty tricks when he switched sides to become one of the Clintons’ most valued operatives.

The mere mention of Correct the Record makes some critics seethe. Super PACs are typically prohibited from working in tandem with candidates, but Correct the Record is doing just that by exploiting a loophole in campaign finance law that it says permits such coordination with digital campaigns.

The left is great at astroturf ideas but not so great in their execution (does anyone remember the Coffee Party?), and it doesn’t look like this effort will be much different in terms of its success. Instead, it is ripe for mockery.

The reaction to the initiative from supporters of Sanders has been predictable – and it has not been to reconsider their vitriol toward the front-runner.

When actor Tim Robbins was confronted on Twitter after making the dubious assertion that election fraud is robbing Sanders of votes, he accused tweeters who challenged him of being paid shills for Brock. Within an hour, he had directed a variation of the same message at 88 different tweeters:

“Dear @CorrectRecord operatives, Thank you for following today’s talking points. Your check is in the mail. Signed, @davidbrockdc”

All of this is reminiscent of Obama’s various schemes to counter negative comments about him online. From “flag the fishy” to Attack Watch, the Obama administration has tried variations on this sort of thing, and the result has been some of the most hilarious ads and tweets in recent memory.

Yep, I thought maybe this thread was gonna be about RJ looking in the mirror.

How do you explain away your own personality disorder, being so ashamed of your own surname that instead you use your middle name

People are so obsessed with those who point out the obvious, while they themselves are culpable for this train wreck. Yet they have the audacity to call others trolls, fools, mentally ill...........

Perhaps this proclivity to consume 'our own' is the "audacity of hope" Obama wrote about in one of his tomes?

Or maybe you're just fulla chit.

Too lazy to look-up the fact that there isn't one single candidate I can vote for in Kalifornia in which my vote can make a difference? I any event, I am not sitting out the local elections in which conservatives have a chance.

It's down between Trump and some cackling, Communist witch that wants to fill the country up with Muslims and illegals and sue the firearm manufacturers out of business.

At this point anybody that's still bitchin' about Trump should have their voting rights pulled.

This country won't survive that witch.

I will say that Trump is smarter than some people give him credit.

You think you are the only one? Quit your whining and do the right thing. I voted, there is not a chance that one of the state people I voted for will even come close to winning but I voted for them anyway.

So You have a choice. You can vote for whoever gets the Republican nomination, You can act like a spoiled child and stay home, or you can vote a straight democrat ticket and just give up all your rights.

Trump was not my first choice but I will gladly vote for him rather that surrender to the liberals.

From your posts here I am guessing you will take the spoiled child rout.

The guy is a marketing genius.

Real estate? Maybe not. A couple of his businesses did end up in bankruptcy court. Four actually. He was smart enough to lose mostly other people's money though, which in itself should qualify him for a job in DC.

But marketing? Pure genius in the same vein as Vince McMahon. A bonafide carnival barker.

Beats the ever loving snot out of a community organizer or unethical, disbarred lawyer.

I suspect one of the reasons Trump is the presumptive nominee is because people climbed 'on board' to be on a 'winning' team rather than voting for more worthy choices which seemed less likely.......the lemming effect IOW.)



I don't think we're quite there yet. November is six months off. I'm of the opinion that we might as well make the time as worthwhile as we are able, or at least as entertaining as possible (since the former may be unlikely). At this point we can either walk away from it and pretend it isn't real...denial, try to stay informed, or perhaps even affect the outcome to some degree.

Too many folks seem content to jump from the uppers floors already because they smell smoke wafting from down below. I really believe, and hold out hope, that either or both of the Dems stroke out or croak from something else... and I don't think it is entirely unlikely. Neither do I think, based on some of the stuff we've seen, that Trump is a shoe-in to survive 'til November either. I guess that puts me in the "I'll wait until the smoke is too much or the fire makes me so uncomfortable that jumping looks like the better alternative, before I punch my ballot for a face-plant from hundreds of feet up.

And yes, I think that is optimistic.

Absolutely.

That's pretty profound....to bad it falls on deaf ears....

Lolol....you clowns post anti-Trump BS all day and night, post cut and pastes with salacious titles and then you get upset when 95% of the people disagree with you. You clowns can cry and bitch all you want, it makes you look like a giant sandy vagina.

Take a look who posted the OP, including the title before crying about your mistreatment next time.
