The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.
We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”
Oh, yeah, we all remember those conversions! It wasn’t what made us switch from certain forums, blogs but the outright persecution of any dissent – cmplete with stalking and publishing of personal information.
we have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter. Its worked, alough the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.
see, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”
The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. Thats due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple.
Dunno about pulling in the sheeple – I do know the samples are skewed and that 80% hang up on pollsters – and they can’t be B0bots.
Our donors, are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied, Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible.
Yup. The meeting between Murdock and B0’s campaign was in Vanity Fair last summer. Not breaking news.
Wrote a few posts about Faux. The common donnors is new information though.
Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well its because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool.
this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that its not realized.
Don’t be so shocked. I know the media works from Obama campaign memos – not exactly a conspiracy when everyone knows, is it? I do remember how the belittling of Palin started with Obama himself, then with some of the politicians – women- supporting him – then it went to the media, blogs etc. I did recognize the talking points Boxer and McCaskill made : “Women will feel offended by her choice” reflected in TV commentary, pollsters questions and analysis, SNL jokes.
The ending is kinda upbeat:
I will be quitting my post on nov 5th and my vote will be for John Mccain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me.
I wish you all well, and good luck.

So your basing a lavish claim on a completely random comment posting? If I was a hardcore McCain fan, I could find it easy to fabricate something on a right wing blog in hopes of garnering attention and recognition, and most of all support for their candidate. Fact is your basing it on something utterly ridiculous.

I don’t know if I made a “lavish claim”.
There are several nuggets of truth in there to give it a chance at authenticity.
And, no, I don’t find it ridiculous. It does capture the utterly loathsome spirit of that campaign quite well.

Fact is your giving someone a platform that doesn’t deserve it. You may “feel” it is genuine, but fact is it is most likely garbage made up by either a dis-enfranchised Hillary supporter, or a McCain supporter fearing the inevitable loss of his candidate.

Why can’t it be who she says? A disenchanted Obama supporter? Are you saying they don’t exist? I remember large groups of people peeling of after his FISA vote. A few more after the “refining” of the terms of the withdrawal from Iraq. I am sure – considering the aggressive behavior in your fold – most of those did it silently. They may be part of that 80% who hang up on pollsters.
As for what you call “garbage” – it’s in the eye of the beholder.
As you see in my comments, much of what she writes echoes my experiences at the other end.
I know you guys have a HUUUGE problem when anyone who disagrees with you gets a platform.
But since I cannot lose my access to your candidate like those TV stations, I can continue giving platforms to whomever I chose.

No, you’re right, Josh, we’re all doomed. DOOMED I TELL YOU, DOOMED! *wrings hands, gnashes teeth*
THANK YOU FOR leading me to the TRUTH, Josh. Without you to point the WAY, I’d be truly lost in these frightening times.
You, sir, are awesome.

Thanks for this RV. I’m having a little trouble digesting it but it sounds right on point. I can’t believe that poser is as far ahead in the polls we’re being led to believe.

A good read, one with which it’s hard to argue having experienced their tactics on the receiving end.
Obama’s paid bloggers had the element of surprise in the primaries, not so much this time.
We shall see. 20% undecided in my swing state.

This sounds pretty close to what many of us have been suspecting. It hits too close to home, which makes me believe there’s an element of truth to it. It’s been my belief all along that the polls were rigged so we’d believe the election has already been decided so we stay home on election day. And this person pretty much said exactly that. She also said that they infiltrated blogs and posted comments so it would look to the rest of us like the world has gone mad. How many times have the rest of you thought that over this whole election season? I know I have numerous times. I’ve gotten so frustrated and thought, “WAKE UP PEOPLE!” It makes sense that we were feeling that way because that’s what his campaign wanted us to feel. I do believe it’s entirely possible for Obama supporters to fall out of love with him. I’ve seen it happen. Stranger things have happened.
I say good for her. She woke up just in time!
