An overview of the right-wing blogosphere

August 25th, 2008 at 03:33pm Pat Cunningham

The incomparable Roy Edroso FILLS US IN on the latest scampishness among those peculiar specimens known as conservative bloggers (and I don’t mean “conservative” in the nice, respectable, dignified, laissez-faire-economics sense of that word).

Thank God For Applesauce

Pat, Here is a concrete example of the
Right Wings Tactics right here on the
Rrstar Community Forums:

HERE:
http://community.e-rockford.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5959

Which Contains the tactics below.

[quote=”Magnetron”]I am just going to point out few things.

#1 Given that this topic was initiated by a banned user, it will most likely end up being deleted when the account of the banned user is terminated.

#2 When the topic is deleted, the replies to it will also be deleted.

#3 Everyone participating in the topic thus far is aware of both #1 and #2.

#4 Despite #3, they continue to argue.

#5 Especially [b]azdarter[/b], who is incapable of not replying to banned-users/attention-whores, thus giving them the attention they crave.

#6 This forum has few readers, yet [b]azdarter[/b] acts as if he is shaming [b]unmanager[/b] in front of a massive reading audience. Analysis, conclusion:
Both the banned user and [b]azdarter[/b] need to get a life.[/quote]

AND HERE:
[quote=”dnewsman”] It would be great if you went away from here and STAYED away, instead of running others off .[/quote]

HERE: An entire thread devoted to personal attack and unfounded allegations:

Can you name all the accounts you have signed up under? -

So, This is how they’ve managed to keep opposing viewpoints off of the rrstar community forums.

I knew there was a reason why no democrats ever seemed to push back against the multitudes of slanderous postings there.

How bout dropping in there Pat, That would be quite interesting

Fred: I can’t even figure out what they’re arguing about over there. And what’s this stuff about being “banned”? Thanks for the invitation, but I’m staying away from that forum. It wouldn’t be proper for me to interfere in their cat fights. However, if any of those right-wingers want to come over here, they’re more than welcome. I’d love to cross swords with some of them folks.

Quote Pat:
“However, if any of those right-wingers want to come over here, they’re more than welcome. I’d love to cross swords with some of them folks”

Me Too……

And in a forum where topic control can be achieved to some degree.

They feel immune to the TOS at that Forum and the topic is generally
turned into a personal attack on the poster if it happens to not follow
standard operating procedure there.

“Right Leaning Post Only, Or Else”

All others will be viciously attacked and repeatedly reported until the malcontented Liberal is either tossed out or leaves voluntarily.

But don’t hold your breath, Like I said in an earlier post, Finding a Republican or a McCain supporter this election cycle has been almost impossible,

But Finding a Republican McCain Supporter is like trying to find a few Hens Teeth in a ten story bale of hay.

They all seem to have the same qualifier at the end of their postings too.

And though they are crammed full of Right-Wing pejoratives, They always conclude with …….

“But Hey, I’m not a Republican”
4. Fred Flintstone | August 26th, 2008 at 6:51 pm

Ok, Since the webmaster or board administrator did not reply to my
reports of the harassment listed in the post above.

The response I did receive was this…..

“You have been banned from this forum.
Please contact the webmaster or board administrator for more information.”

Let’s see now, I send several reports, One for each posting of harassment getting NO reply at all,

And the reply I finally do get is that I get banned on the word of a few Right Wing Fanatics ???

And just HOW I’m I supposed to contact the webmaster or board administrator if the only thing that comes up on my screen is this …..

“You have been banned from this forum.
Please contact the webmaster or board administrator for more information.”

What the hell is wrong with those people ?

Are they one and the same fanatics who have been attacking Dems there or what ?

I’d really appreciate a straight answer from somebody who actually works at the Rockford Register Star.

Since all of my friends NO LONGER WORK THERE due to the cut backs.

Thank You
Another Dem Bites the Dust at the fabled Rrstar.com ?ommunity Forums

Pat, here is all you need to know about RRStarForums.

” Fred Flinstone ” was banned from there over 40 times.

http://z3.invisionfree.com/harrrstarboard/index.php?showtopic=369

His friend Del Wasso was also banned.

http://z3.invisionfree.com/harrrstarboard/index.php?showtopic=370

And their friend, Juan.

http://z3.invisionfree.com/harrrstarboard/index.php?showtopic=396

There is only one active Republican poster left there by the name of SNuss.

The other two Republican posters were also banned.

The remainder of avtive posters are Democrats.

And people with no party affiliation but are still voting for Obama, such as myself.

Just ignore this Internet Troll ” Fred Flinstone ” and his silly attempt to stir up Needless Internet Drama between Republicans and Democrats.

Peace out.
6. Johnny Blaze | August 28th, 2008 at 2:32 pm

Pat,

And feel free to delete these comments of mine.

My only concern was that you be aware of this individual trying to dupe you.

Peace out again.
7. Peter Gunn | August 28th, 2008 at 6:02 pm

Like I said, Finding a Republican over
there is like trying to find Hen’s Teeth

That is untill you tell the truth about
McCain and his surregates or contrdict
something thier resident troll SNuss says.

Then they whine to the absent minded moderators over there and boot you off for being one of Johnnys enemies.

Nice try Johnny Boy, I see it didnt work over at MyStateline

PS: Dont you have some porn to post on your Porn Site Harrstrarboard
8. Peter Gunn | August 28th, 2008 at 6:14 pm

Pat, What is it they call people who follow you from site to site with harrasing messages, threats and false accusations?

OH YEA, I remember A Trolling Cyber Stalker, Thats it.
Notice what he’s written about your blog already over at Mystateline below:

I dislike blogs, but am considering investing myself
9. SNuss | August 28th, 2008 at 9:22 pm

Unfortunately Fred/Peter/Kiloman/FatCat and friends, wouldn\’t know the truth if it bit them in the butt. They were kicked off the RR-Star forum because of their constant personal attacks on other posters. They were warned, and still continued their same attacks. The same happened on My Stateline. These travelling trolls seek only to cause disruption, not to engage in serious dialog.
10. Peter Gunn | August 29th, 2008 at 3:36 am

SNuss the swiftboat captain

Show us some proof of this
oh thats right, Your a republican
you dont need proof

You and your cyber stalking buddy here
have yet to connect me with any of the above. Face it

You simply hate it when your stupid
Vince Foster postings are questioned

I dislike blogs as a source of news, but am considering investing myself. Are they trustworthy? Are there any unbiased, non-partisan bloggers out in there CyberSpace? Any thoughts about Pat Cunningham’s Applesause?

Posted by Snuss
I left a post there(about FatCat & Co), but it is too early to tell.

“C” for crazy pretty much sums it up. These replies prove that statement. Looks like Gunn brings it on himself. I find him a good one to ignore.

Let’s get back to talking politics.

Go Obama!
13. Peter Gunn | August 30th, 2008 at 6:08 am

Why does O. Henry sound so much like
Johnny Blaze in drag ?

Cyber Stalking is a serious issue
Johnny, Cease and desist.
14. O. Henry | August 30th, 2008 at 10:25 am

Please refrain from digressing to the boring argument.

“FATCAT strikes again, trying to recruit Pat Cunningham to post here.”

Oh my, That WOULD put you in a pickle
wouldnt it Johnny boy.

It would be interesting though to see how you’d pass off Pat Cunningham as Fatcat in order to get HIM banned

But I digress, The topic is about
RightWing Nut Job’s Bloging Lies about democrats, progressives and those generally on the left.

Some even going so far as to POSE as democrats in order to put democrats in a bad light.
Shocking Hens Teeth !!!

Imagine that. And even sinking to…..
“Recruit Pat Cunningham” into thier Leftist agenda, My my my.

Those pesky little devils would do nearly
anything to protect their assets

Isnt that RIGHT Johnny, er, I mean,
O. Henry.

Go Obama
16. O. Henry | August 30th, 2008 at 2:03 pm

You’re off your rocker. I don’t know if you’re paranoid or schizophrenic, or both.
17. Johnny Blaze | August 30th, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Geesh … I hope for Pat’s sake, his blog is equipped with a mute button.
18. Peter Gunn | September 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 am

Oh, But how soon they forget their Right-Wing-Nut Propaganda.
It’s a good example of their schizophrenic tendencies.

These multi personality types just don’t get it.

A reminder as to WHY Pat Cunningham wouldn’t use it if he had it

Your own words Johnny Boy

Pat Cunningham has been “Recruited into the Leftist agenda”

Shocking Hens Teeth, Is that so
19. Johnny Blaze | September 2nd, 2008 at 1:00 pm

I believe my exact words can be found here.

Nobody gives a darnn. Plus it\’s annoying, too.

Boring, Repetitive and Ignorant

Amen to that Mr. Cunningham

Thanks, P.G
24. O. Henry | September 4th, 2008 at 5:06 pm

Nice to see that PG admits to being “Boring, Repetitive and Ignorant”. A man has got to know his limitations.
