Those freepers you hear on C-Span are probably paid trolls!

And they practice on C-Span for their shit-spewing sessions at left-leaning blogs.

1. Good catch. No, great catch. Chilling and horrific. And so it begins.
Did we really expect that Karl Rove and the rest of his Antichrist followers were going to let the Internet blogs be honest expressions of opinion? Interesting that the site doesn't have an "About Us" link. But not surprising.

3. Confirms what quite a few of us have jokingly suspected.
After awhile you start noticing patterns.
Creepy.

4. Blog Intelligence and Advocacy Service (BIAS)
From the site:

The NetVocates Solution
NetVocates delivers a customized combination of monitoring, analysis and action to maximize the positive effect of the blogosphere for the client. The result for NetVocates clients is the ability to gain virtually instantaneous expertise in the area of blogs.

Monitor. The process begins with the account manager working with the client to determine relevant topics to monitor (e.g. key messages, brands, and opponents). Then proprietary technology is paired with personal research to effectively monitor more than 28 million blogs.

Analyze. A team of blog intelligence experts analyze content, tone and relative importance of the coverage, collecting and presenting the data in meaningful ways. This process distills blog chatter into actionable intelligence in a weekly report.

Act. Careful research and client consultation create a messaging strategy tailored to maximize the positive effect of key trends and events. NetVocates then recruits activists and consumers who share the client’s views in order to reinforce those key messages on targeted blogs – and rebut misinformation when appropriate.

(Its hard to believe they would chose BIAS as their acronym. Its not hard to believe that such a propaganda service exists, but there's something wrong here)

7. They are desperate...
they have to be taught how to rebuff Dems talking points. We don't really have talking points because we live it and it is the truth. This means they really have to have a script to say what they believe. I wonder if the people they use to call c-span really believe what they are saying.

13. Not fraud, but psyops!
Psychological warfare through propaganda.

That's what the Nazis used to keep the German civilian population on-board and protest-free until it was too late for them to take any meaningful actions or stage any protests that mattered!

Now that you posted that NH address, I wonder if they were involved
in the WH Phone jamming Scheme? :shrug:

Judge dismisses most of Democrats' phone-jamming lawsuit
By Beverley Wang, Associated Press Writer | June 15, 2006
http://www.boston.com/news/local/new_hampshire/articles/2006/06/15/judge_dismisses_most_of_democrats_phone_jamming_lawsuit_1150405160/

snip-->
"The scheme jammed get-out-the-vote and ride-to-the-polls phone banks run by Democrats
and the nonpartisan Manchester firefighters union for over an hour on Election Day 2002,
during a hotly contested U.S. Senate race between then-Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen
and Republican John Sununu, who won." <--snip

Maybe!
