In honor of "Puppet" Week, as it has been so gloriously named, I present you a list of some of the worst scaremongers, scallywags, shills and sockpuppets that have infested our beloved community.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but rather a skimming of the cream of the crop. The worst of the worst. The most insidious gossip flingers and corporate scum among us.
Follow me to below the DKos Fleur O'Shame!
Ahem.
5.) Adam B.
A? B? Of course this is a made up name. He's hardly even trying. How transparent. Adam is simply here shilling for the AB May Company - a company that has it's tentacles literally around the plumbing industry. They are listening through the pipes people!
4.) Bob Johnson.
Obvious Sockpuppet is obvious. We're supposed to believe - on the internet no less - that this user is just a simple humorist named Bob. RIIIIIIIGHTT. We know the truth Mr. Johnson. Like your fame is driven by your 'fans'.Ha! What other user names do you use to rec your 'funny' and 'snarky' diaries? Reaping that sweet, sweet Mojo with sweet, sweet lies.
3.) TomP
Again with the first name, last initial. But before you think this is just the user Adam B. trying to get 'original' with us lackwits, rest easy. Tom-of-the-last-initial-P is more likely a shill. Such a fervent defender of our current Administration is just a smoke screen for his true colors - Social Media Coordinator for Gary Johnson for President! He sealed the deal himself this very week when he said, and I quote(roughly): "This is my president, I voted for him twice." Lies! Insidious lies!
2.) Troubadour/The Troubadour.
At last, you might exclaim!These two must be sockpuppets! Their names are separated but for a measly, sneaky article. But no! Once again the evil minds of the corporatocry have fooled even our detection skills - honed though they are on rooting out right wing bullshit. The Troubadour(even though he has shed this name for his 'real one'. Sure, David, sure.) and Troubadour are nothing more than run of the mill, backyard shills for that jangly, shiny enemy of democracy - THE MINSTREL LOBBY!
And now, the biggest, more terrible one for last. One that could threaten to shake this community to it's foundation and send both pooties and woozles fleeing into the dark night.
1.) Kos.
Mind Blown. The grandaddy of them all is an inescapable black hole of corporate shillery and sockpuppetry. He's userID 3 you know. What happened to 1 and 2? What terrible fate befell them!! And don't get me started on this whole 'subscription' nonsense to eliminate ads and 'help' the site. Why would Kos need help running this site when he's funded by the CIA?(No seriously, it's true. People have been 'banned' permanently - if you know what I mean - for even talking about this.) Also, he was once a republican. A REPUBLICAN!!!! What else does this dastardly man of mischief get up to, I ask? The NSA? HAARP? JFK??????????
Flee why you still can.
THE PIE IS A LIE !
