Liberal bloggers in New Hampshire busted an aide to Rep. Charles Bass (R-N.H.) who was posing as a liberal blogger on such blogs as Blue Granite, NH-02 Progressive and others. Bass’ office admitted culpability to HOH and said the staffer would be “appropriately disciplined.”

The unnamed aide to Bass — who, like many others in his party, faces a tough re-election fight — was routinely trolling liberal New Hampshire political blogs calling himself “IndyNH” and more commonly IndieNH, pretending to be a progressive.

14. Is that really true

In my experience, the whole fish stinks. This head down thing
probably comes from a language where 'down' means 'as well'.

9. Let me guess...

...he was an "undecided" prgressive that "really dislikes" the Bush Administration yet spends all his time excoriating "gutless democrats and liberals," decrying how "the left" has taken over the "Democrat" party.

Sound familiar?

11. I would bet at least 10 % of posters

on left wing or right wing sites post as stealth trolls

This is a surprise someone was busted

12. They do this quite a bit

You can see posers on Yahoo who try to make Dems look bad. Common for these lowlifes.
