I know I know, what is a 29 year old doing with a myspace profile... Well I have one so lets move beyond that. Users of Myspace with anti Obama feelings must be trying out a new tactic.
I have a myspace profile that makes it clear on my presidential choice. I usually post videos, pictures and relevant findings on the campaign. Needless to say KO's special comments almost always do. I have added quite a few people who seek me into their friends network based on our support for Obama.
A few months ago, I added a person who had a decked out Obama profile. Tons of footage, backgrounds and things you would expect to see on a profile form a young supporter. I even read through comments people had posted to him with positive feedback on his profile.
Occasionally he would post bulletins with the latest campaign news or to let us know he updated his profile. This was normal as I have alot of people I have never actually met but who I have connected with through this campaign.
Well today I return from a week long trip for work, sit down at my computer and the most disgusting thing imaginable is the first comment on my profile. I click on the poster assuming it must be a mistake or lead to something else.
Nope, this same persons profile is completely different with nothing but slanderous, offensive and racist content. I am not the only one who has been tricked, as users are rapidly blasting bulletins warning of this trick.
I dont really have any other way of venting my frustration and anger but to share it with you, where I find comfort amongst fellow minds. I have linked his profile in case you want some motivational material for this week or were considering a donation. This certainly prompted my first donation of the general...
Ignorance and Hate's Profile
A final note, Myspace users who have been suckered by this guy have gathered enough information
about this person and are considering making his work life difficult. Not sure how I feel about that yet but I would like some recourse...
