It seems to me that Trolls are invading DKos. Like the yellow hoards over the Yalu River, The yellow stripes are here and picking fights
Exhibit A
Well we certainly have had a lot of attention here. I mean with Bill O Reilly crushing us under his mighty falafel; and Stephen Colbert pointing to our url; YearlyKos out drawing the DLC, we certainly are the cat’s meow.
Exhibit B
I have also noticed a definite uptick in daily visits and page views. Now, I do not run the site. So I don’t know for sure. But scroll down and click on sitemeter and it seems like we have about another 100,000 or so visits and page views a day. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Exhibit C
It sure seems like the trolls these days are a different kind than we have been having in the past. More and more the trolls are hot and run talkingpoints shooters. They register, they wait a day, they fail to make a cogent argument- more and more it’s like they cannot follow the threads, or the discussions. Instead this group just shoots their wad in two comments, they get troll rated and put away and then they go away and brag about it on their tiny little hate blogs. I have been lurking over there and they give each other cyber-fives and act like they scored one.
Exhibit D
Candidates are showing up here more and more often.
There seems to be an operation going on. Like Freepers are coming over here, lurking, making hit and runs and not even trying to make an argument. That’s because they are coming from blogs where the readers have a hardening of the orthodoxies. They have all the answers and there is no other way.
If you are a trusted user you can view all these hidden comments. They are burning off quite fast.
Evil R Us doesn’t even try to make a logical argument. He goes right for the fear factor.
Illegals bring crime and disease, and have overwhelmed social services
Got that? Crime and disease come from illegal immigrants. Not from white Christian Americans. And certainly not from legal immigrants.

Yes- for God's sake don't listen to moderate voices- it might save you from the bath you will take in the next election

He "keeps tabs on the loony left" btw.
And then there’s this
Not watching Fox? (0+ / 2-)
I believe you- why would you want to be bothered by the truth?
by Eastseminole
Ah yes. A genius. Who sees Faux News as the truth and the truth is faux news.
How do you people... (0+ / 6-)
manage to butter a slice of bread without cutting your arm off? Do you have government employees there to keep you safe?
by DixonBalzer
Got that? You people I mean how could we, and the three quarters of Americans who think like we do butter bread?
Iraq same as Darfur (0+ / 2-)
This sounds very similiar to what Sadaam Hussein did to his own people. Maybe we should send in U.S. troops..get Senate approval, and then run out when things do not go our way. Sound familiar???

You see. The wingnuts are foreign policy GENIUSES!!!
Why do Liberals hate America? (0+ / 7-)
Why do you hate everything about this Country? You bitch about freedom and yet stand ready to take away my right to speak out against abortion or homosexually or even my right to defend myself.
Your people voted for this war based upon the intell at the time but now it's ok for Hillary to bash the war and Bush. Bush has admitted mistakes where is his rights?
by potassiumnitrate
We don’t hate America. Just the parts that this asshat touches. By the way Posttasiumnitrate. Please go hang out with some charcoal and sulfur, and then maybe light a cigarette.
Cultural diversity (0+ / 2-)
Cultural diversity implies playing a role in society that the majority can tolerate, not setting yourself apart.
by JBG
You see boy? You do like we tell you. You be happy we Christianists allow you to have your little Kwanzaa.
I mean it’s obvious these are not forays into understanding us better. These are angry desperate wingnuts bored of their tiny and quite pathetic echo chambers wandering over here to get their asses handed back to them in a real fight.
I think that this is ultimately a great thing that is happening. Their tiny powerless corners of the blogosphere are being crushed by liberals.
Unhappy and bored, a gut full of anger, al this tends to make one quite peripatetic. So they come over here and try not to engage us, but to convince us that their disastrous ideas are actually working.
Some of their comments:
From Little Green Assholes
Just got back from Daily Kos. So many people there have no idea that their freedoms are why we are being attacked, not our policies.
From PP Media
Over at Kos. They are arguing whether or not we really are in a war bigger than WWII. Well, I guess when there’s a nuke that detonates inside of Cincinatti, then maybe the Librhuls will wake up.
So the wingnuts are coming to visit us and try and convince us that we really are wrong about everything. I guess this is good news.
They’re fighting us over here so we don’t fight them over there. Fine. I’d rather be here than the site of the self loathing Phillippina tart Michelle Malalalalagang.
