Looks like the anti-Obama concern trolls are out in force.
Seen em all over CNN, ABC (radar and Tapper), and Politico boards. They wait for a new entry to post, and then get in early in the thread with pasted text.
I guess you could post to denounce and expose the tactic. Is it even worth the effort? Most people don't know what a concern troll is, and Ben Smith and Tapper actually seem to aperiodically read the comments on their blog posts.
Troll taxidermy below the fold
From Ben Smith's Politico blog.
I am an Obama supporter, but am now taking another look at Hillary Clinton. I am turned off by the way Obama has handled the Wright situation so far. I felt offended by the way he seemed to stereotype whites as racist in his comment about how his grandmother is a "typical white". I felt inspired by his words and campaign of hope, but his essential acceptance of Wrights words in church casts doubt onto his judgment. I am now concerned if my judgment that Obama was the stronger candidate against McCain was correct. I hope the media continues to pursue this story, because I for one still have concerns about the inconsistencies in Obama's story and the impact of this controversy on his electability in the general election.

RE: FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD: TROLL ALERT. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the "concern troll". This is a classic time honored trolling lie. "I am an X candidate supporter, but now I am concerned about their recent proposal to eat white babies for breakfast", The first post in this thread is likely by a Clinton supporter. THIS IS DESPICABLE. BEN, PLEASE DELETE THIS OBVIOUS TROLLING POST.
