Coleman camp urging supporters to conduct astroturf campaign on blogs
Edited on Tue Jan-27-09 04:15 PM by Minnesota Raindog
Former Sen. Norm Coleman's campaign has taken a page from Michele Bachmann's staff and sent an email blast out to its supporters urging them to foul the comments sections of news websites and blogs with their talking points praising Norm.

"All it takes is a computer, and a minute or two of your time each day to let your voice be heard. We’ve all worked so hard to make sure Norm Coleman was re-elected on Election Day," the email read, along with links to websites like the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and MnPublius.

Did these goons really think this effort would fly under the radar? Are the Coleman people that fucking stupid? Evidently, the answer to both is yes. And if anyone is watching the trial proceedings on www.theuptake.org and listening to the witnesses Coleman has brought forward, you'd know that by now.

2. Anyone made it over here yet?
Jason Lewis' producers? I would expect the Strib and KARE boards to be hit heavily. The only place they would make any progress would be to preach to the choir at Townhall.

:hi: to Jason Lewis' producers, plug us anytime :evilgrin:

3. Don't see much at the Trib
When they post their garbage they usually get swamped and their talking points are debunked 6X
