Important Tips From Your New Friend: How to Fight ObamaBots In The Blog
Hi everyone,
I have been fighting Obama trolls for a few long months. And I can give you guys some tips on how to deal with them.
We call them ObamaRobots, Obamabot, or Obots for short. This is due to their characteristic of using the talking point from the Obama campaign and repeatedly using those lines to attack his opponent everywhere in the blog.
These are paid bloggers. They will plant the talking points in the website that they have been assigned. Then other Obama bloggers will pick up the talking point and repeat the attack.
You need to fight them and confront them early before their talking point get traction. John McCain bloggers must be present and active in defending the articles that is pro-McCain or youtube that pro-McCain. It's the perception game. You can't let them gain present of attacking McCain in the blog.
Here is an example. This is McCain's video in youtube "Safe". There is no pro-McCain comments. All the comments are from Obots and they attacked him with lies.
Please go over there and made comment for McCain.

I have been battling the Obamabots for what is it now six long months they are really pains. They also call you names. They will attack McCain's age or call him a racist. They really have no manners.
Off the beaten path site
I battle the Obamabots over at the 2008 Presidential Election Thread on http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?board=8.0
its a Guns N Roses message board where I've been a member for almost 6 years, it's pretty much where I got started in the online realm of political thread posting. ( not a lot of news from the band lately, so we keep occupied with other subjects. There's about 4-5 of us who do not support Obama VS 20 or so who do. It can get pretty nasty on their part but I never stoop to their low.
It can be fun, there are a lot of interesting characters I do battle with.
When I joined here I suggested a "Discussion Alert" where you
could come in and quickly post links to hot discussions or ones where a McCain supporter was down and needed reinforcements. Obviously, that didn't catch on, but I still think it's a good idea.
I get involved in discussions regularly and have been known to shut a few down--and the secret is using traditional debating techniques and facts but this only works IF you can get the automatons to respond. And it's still very difficult to combat an "auto-send" button that seems to be part of the Obamatron's (like that one!) key board.
hopin' for change
apparently i made some observation that was taken personal or just wasnt 'cool'..
i see where all my input was deleted like it never was written....
amy,
i sent my comments to the contact page..same stuff, same suggestions...not one reply..only deletions.
that in itself is an obama tactic..to act like it didnt happen..
where the commentator for this page?
i read the heart felt story from hillary2mccain..that was a very personal experience that moved me...
constructive criticism
Todd,
I am the one who removed your comments. To be honest, I thought you were an Obama troll. The way you shared your suggestions just came across to me as vindictive and not constructive at all. Just blasting the site is not helpful. If I misunderstood and misjudged you, I apologize.
I've been away for about 1/2 month and have not seen your comments/posts before. Lane takes care of all the site construction, format etc., and he has worked very hard. He does not have the resources that barackobama.com has. It might be nice to show appreciation for what has been done here in providing -- on his dime -- a format for information and discussion rather than just blasting everything about the site. I'm sure constructive criticism is welcome, but it might be better to share site reform suggestions by way of email privately rather than just attacking the site in comments. Does that make sense?
I've never known who was in charge, but THANK YOU
I check in here regularly and follow the links and the discussions...and it's nice to have safe place to post one's thoughts and observations without the pressure to participate in a p*ssing contest.
So, thank you all--and particularly Lane, who is doing this on his own dime.
