Once again, trying to outdo himself as the right-wing internet ubertroll, John Bambenek has proven himself once again to be wanker of the year. Not happy with his last year's wanker award over the FEC complaint against the Daily Kos that was not only criticized on all sides of the political spectrum, but unanimously thrown out of the FEC; he has chosen not to let his petty quest go.
Yesterday, continuing his ongoing obsession with this site, he registered an account an published his "conversion" to progressive politics and pledged support for Obama. He even managed to continue the charade long enough to get the one person who knew it was a troll to get "troll-rated".
All his right wing friends are, of course, laughing it up. The delicious irony is that while Obama and his many grassroots supporters are working to change this country for the better for everyone (including them), they are the ones resorting to childish tactics.
The stunt is actually a good illustration of what the Obama campaign is for this nation. On the one hand, we have a candidate that stands for hope, change and is trying to unify the nation. He is facing childish divisiveness (Hillary) and petty partisan politics (Republicans) in order to accomplish what is best for America.
On one hand, you have a candidate that wants to solve America's problems and build a better country for us all, and he faces opposition from people like Bambenek who peddle some bizarre patriarchal attitudes towards women.
While Obama is working to create an economy that benefits all, Bambenek and his fellow wingnuts are absurdly working for an economy that benefits only a few.
In November, the choice is clear... change or four more years of asshattery.
