Related: About this forumBeware of bad news trolls...Let them sink
I've clicked on several doom and gloom threads, all from low post counters.
Ignore them and let them sink.
It shows we had a most excellent debate and their boy got dominated.

(18,672 posts)They'll start out with the bad news in the form of a poll or article from an obscure news source, then say they disagree, then say something like, "Don't get me wrong, I hate Romney and/or Ryan, BUT...) then end the post by calling either Romney or Ryan "an idiot".

(15,445 posts)They're laughable in their predictability.
Unfortunately, some unwitting DUers allow themselves to get sucked into the deception.
DarthDem
(5,256 posts)And of course Republican robopollsters are right there to give them some material. It's a pretty tired act. Ryan was spanked. Let's talk about that some more.

(26,060 posts)Getting pretty stinky. Their boy got spanked hard last night and they're reduced to whining about facial expressions and the moderator....pretty pathetic.

(1,828 posts)We should post a counterattack thread. I mentioned this morning that I think every subject line should be a JOE ROCKED! subject. I was sort of kidding, but I really think the crappy threads have to sink to the bottom so we can enjoy the day. Despair got us nowhere last week. We're fired up thanks to Joe and we should get to stay that way.
Here's hoping that Gallup today will show a change thanks to last Thursday dropping off the seven-day tracker. Sure would be a nice way to go into the weekend.

(44 posts)Are they to be trusted? i'm not sure. They might be trying to push the narrative of Romney being ahead and what-not. I will take them with a grain o salt.

You've been made. Sorry.
DisabledAmerican
(452 posts)He/She isn't just doing it here, but apparently posted a Nate Silver thing to get people to freak out. I'm trying to warn the GD as well. There are clearly people here to cause a Dem freak out to depress the Vote. They have a clear agenda. That's why I dubbed them DoomSayers.

(743 posts)They are freaking everywhere on here today. That is the best sign EVER that last nights debate was a winner for VP Biden! Nervous freepers???
bushisanidiot
(8,064 posts)republicans are jumping ship. the few who are left are bitter and need somewhere
to vent and since freeperville isn't around anymore they come here and try
to play their little games.
isn't that cute?
fugop
(1,828 posts)I guess there's no way to get rid of that sort of thing, eh? Sucks to be them today.

(51,003 posts)all ignored, today.
bushisanidiot
(8,064 posts)they get people to comment. they just want to get their post count up so they will look credible.
anyone who just signed on here for the first time this summer is suspect as far as i'm concerned.
low post count, new user, always "concerned". they are freepers. end of story.
god, i wish i was in charge of looking at ip addresses of new users and killing accounts.
i'd have a FIELD DAY!

(32,086 posts)It removes any temptation of posting on the thread and kicking it up.
fugop
(1,828 posts)I've never used that one. I hate to put these idiots on ignore, but trashing the thread would indeed remove temptation. It's hard not to take them on. Must. Exercise. Discipline. Be the Biden. Be the Biden.
GoCubsGo
(32,086 posts)The trolls usually don't last all that long anyway, and I admit that I enjoy some of the grave-dancing that goes on when they are removed. Otherwise, most people have something good to say at some point, even if I don't always agree with them. If you put them on ignore, you miss it. The only person on my "ignore" list is a belligerent schumuck who likes to pick fights over imagined slights. I don't care to deal with that kind of crazy.

(8,064 posts)"we better be careful" means to me, stop celebrating and stop being enthusiastic
about our PRESIDENT.
so easy to spot.

(7,726 posts)And if they're wasting time posting here, they're not out on the ground helping Snobney win.
DisabledAmerican
(452 posts)Can you believe there are some crazy people who actually want them here. It's scary how bad they play the victim when you point it out. I tried to post something similar there to because we have some of the same ones posting in both Politics 2012 and General Discussion if you follow them you can see.
DisabledAmerican
(452 posts)It's a whole chain of post on that page from that poster talking about how much she is hates the President. This stuff is getting sad.
