I think we have an antiKerry operative at work today
And I don't think it's a Dem.

3. GD...claim that kerry ALWAYS supported Bush on Iraq and uses
out of context quotes from the debates. As if we never heard them "in context" or understood the difference between HAVING to stabilize Iraq now because we're STUCK having to do it, and supporting Bush 100%.

4. What is your opinion
on the best way to deal with these creeps? Ignore? Fight back? I admit to being chicken - and rarely venture out there because the hate level is so high. If they're operatives they obviously can't be turned.

7. No, but they can be alerted if you think they're up to no good.
I never alert those who I know have been around awhile and just have a different opinion, but those who go overthetop for no reason other to attack JK...well...I have a pretty good nose for real trolls.

9. I just alerted the one who called him a "demoblican"
mainly based on that right there.

There are certain names out there, won't identify because it's not allowed, but certain folk will be there with a snarky, out of context comment almost every time.

I'm about to strangle one that says Kerry's crying crocodile tears over boys he himself sent to fight. When I said he wasn't the one who sent them as that's not why he voted for IWR, I was accused of spinning. Hey, just going by what the man said at the time of the vote. Then, this person suggested that Kerry at the soldiers grave right after the election was him campaigning and crying fake tears again.

I would have reacted to that, but it would have gotten me banned.

I will not answer this person any more, at least today in that thread. It's what he wants.

By the same token, there is one Kerrycrat who tends to go after Clarkies and Deaniacs. I don't find that productive either.

11. I also find that divisive and
I personally don't trust anyone overtly and constantly divisive no matter who they say they support.

28. I ignore them...
...and, WhoMeTense, I really liked your post out there about Kerry in Iraq, and so far all the replies have been positive. I'm in shock.

31. Thanks a lot!
And I'm in shock too. Maybe the GOP operatives get tucked in early. ;-)

5. I've been watching that thread.
You're handling the original poster nicely.

(I'm waiting for the original poster to mention Skull and Bones. You know they will eventually)

26. Oh sorry, his screen name is "Itsthetruth"
I find that ironic, considering he's selling a lie.

12. If we feel this is a deliberate attempt
to stir up trouble, then we ought to let someone know.

13. Well, I did
hit alert on it. I really suspect the way the wording absolves Bush and focuses blame on Kerry. That's a typical tactic of an operative here to further attacks on Kerry or any other Dem leader.

23. The timing is definitely suspicious
The louder Kerry gets, the more I think we will see this sort of suspicious attack.

24. I'm still getting
twice-daily Google and Yahoo Kerry alerts. They are extremely interesting, pointing out as they do the level of absolute hatred that is out there for Kerry still.

You have to ask yourself why, after having gained their "man-date", the *ies are still so fixated on JK. Of course, if they have any notion of what he is about they have good reason to fear him, but an awareness of history is not something you generally associate with them.

25. Or awareness of the facts and/or reality either
Indeed not. They appear to be allergic to such awareness, actually.

21. I hear ya...and I'm not the overly sensitive type regarding criticism, but
this particular style of criticism has GOP operative written all over it.

The trolls are like hydra. You kill one, two come to take its place.
