1. For example?
If you see them you should alert on them, no?

2. Examples?
I'm not seeing it, but I am reading for particular content, so I could be oblivious.

8. They come out of the woodwork at times like these, specifically to stir shit up.
It's pretty transparent, when you know what to look for.

I don't care if this post gets deleted, though I would like to point out first that I didn't name anyone by name.

15. One of the more negative threads had response after response from
relatively new DUers at the beginning. Each one of them had fewer than 1000 posts, even fewer than 100 posts. So maybe you are right. Anyway, I have posted enough about Weiner. I'm bored with it. He was silly to send that picture, but it was no more revealing than what you see at the beach on hot summer days. Just juvenile but not that shocking.

10. No, I've noticed it, too
I just answer and walk away.

If it's really obvious, I alert.

Mostly, I laugh at them.

There are no real Republicans, only 50-center whores.

16. The "Obama Is a Disappointment" Threads?
I don't see those as Republican talking points, but some folks think anything negative is disloyal. Some of the moves Obama could make to placate the Left don't involve bringing Republicans on board.
