Is it me or are the haterz out in force?

[JNelson6563]

Anybody else notice the uptick in activity of the Dean haterz? What is up with the smears? Dean proved himself a team player in backing Kerry and helping to get many Dems elected. I don't understand the haterz. Are the DLC plants or what?

1. That's pretty much it

high levels have decided it's worthwhile to have puppets on DU to shape the message, and there are the longstanding Freepers as well.

As Howard says, " don't get sucked into other people setting the terms of the debate. Just forge ahead with what you are doing."

4. Agreed, don't get sucked in

One need not get sucked into the vortex. It is so easy to rebuff them with only a sentence or two. Many are silenced with only that much effort for several reasons. Those who are not go on to expose their agenda and lack of sound reason so there is no harm in leaving them swinging in the wind.....

getting paid.

6. There really aren't that many of them...

...so far, anyway.

7. No but they create the illusion

by their prolific posting. I recall when many of them showed up at primary time. Seems they all achieved over 1000 posts in about 2 weeks.

I see it this way, if they are busy posting crap on obscure DBs they aren't out in the world doing any real harm.

:toast:

8. If Dean ever runs for president again, it'll be even worse.

But you're right. For now, it's harmless. ;-)

9. The don't seem any stronger than they've ever been

since Dean haterz are a dime a dozen at DU. Now a year ago...
