I have never asked for this before
I am currently on MSN's political chat room. And I have noticed, over the five years I have spent on that room, that, when the rightwingers are outnumbered, the excuse themselves, return shortly thereafter with eight or ten other right wing posters.

Anyone who is on MSN, and can get to Political Chat, the one with the largest group of people, who would like to just experiment with this option, to join that chat by going to groups and chat. Then chat home. Then news. And look for the political chat with the highest number. Dammit, the republicans have been doing it for the past five years. Just want to know how it works.

No hard feelings if you don't want to. It's an experiment.

1. Got a link?
That's usually helpful, though I personally despise MSN & will not participate.

3. I think there are a lot people,
who are paid to post and chat RW propaganda on the web. It's a fulltime job for them. If they can throw 300 million at ditto-pigboy, surely they pay several thousand to pollute message board and chatrooms.

5. Ya know...
...I've been getting these damned e-mails telling me I could make thousands of dollars at home on my computer, but until now, I didn't realize what for!

4. The same thing happens over at the MyWay boards. In fact,
most of the really rotten right wing-nuts who have been banned just keep making up new names and keep coming back. It's sickening, to say the least. Are you asking for reinforcements?

6. Actually, I have been on and off this chat
for almost five years. And I have noticed that certain right wingers, extremists, neocons, nutballs, whatever you want to call them, do the brb thing and shortly thereafter get several more of their sort suddenly enter the room. And, of course, it becomes chaotic and disruptive and any discussion is totally lost.

I just wondered if it could be a planned and well executed strategy of using the internet to load chat rooms with one sort or another.
Wondered if it could work both ways.

Maybe it does and my bias just hasn't let me realize it.

Sometimes, people come on who are obviously not black and obviously not democrats, and obviously not liberals, and spout such ridiculous crap as to offend even me. I have decided these are plants to incite hatred and dissention, and I was curious if there was something I could do about it. So I tried this.

Am too tired now, and am off the room, but will send a link when I am better able. My computer is slowly dying, and I don't know if I can afford to have it fixed, so may have to switch to my son's computer.

But will be more informative next time.

Never knew there was a business interest in this. I wish they would ask me, the democrats, that is, to enter a chat as a right winger. Boy could I repeat the mantra and create some hatred.

lol

Love to all.

7. Certainly sounds strange
I mean why would they need to leave the chat room I'm asking myself?

Could they be leaving that chat room your in and going to other
chat rooms looking for help from other republicans and asking
them to help out in such and such room. Then the person returns
with his recruits since they now have enough friends for a
"fair fight" in the chat room your in.

Next time one of them exits the chat room, why don't you exit the
room also and see if you can find what room they've went into.
Just try a few of the rooms and see if you find the guy/gal.
