McCain, King of Spam
By now everyone here probably knows McCain has copied Mitt Romney's tactic of spamming blogs with talking points .... but if you didn't here is the story.

McCain campaign is offering prizes and rewards to people who essentially post McCain’s talking points in the comments sections of blogs across the internet

2. King of Astroturfing, is more like it.
You should show him wrapped in green fake grass.

I'm so glad his campaign was dumb enough to make this program public. Now, every time some idiot repeats a McSame talking point on the Web and calls himself a member of the "McCain Action Team," everyone can ridicule him for the loser he is.

"Hey there, AstroBoy, did you win an iPod for that post?"

"Keep posting that crap, Sparky--you're halfway to your new bicycle!"

3. Yeah, and the trolls have been here on DU too.
McSame is now bribing people to say good stuff about him. How sad.

I like some of the comments. One poster said now we have to presume that anyone writing pro-McSame comments is getting paid.

Here is one of my favorite comments.

"That would explain most of the idiotic remarks by republican poster on WaPo. Reading them is about as enlightening as watching a McCain TV commercial. China actually pays people to blog for them. Fascist Chinese government and McCain have much in common."

I actually logged into the Moonie times to try and fight some of the neocons on their own turf. Did you know you can't use the word Moonie on their blog? I tried to post a comment with the word Moonie in it and it said: m---ie is an unauthorized word. So I used Moony instead. I wonder when I'll be locked out.

8. Hmmm...that must explain the "Free Can of Spam with the purchase of a 6-pack of Bud" promotion!
I just got an e-mail from Hensley Distrubutors about their new give-away. (I would have read it, but it wound up in my junk mail folder.)

:evilgrin:
