In the end doing this sort of thing only hurts your cause. Essentially,when this sort of thing gets out, you have eliminated the possibility of anybody arguing your case with credibility. If you want to make a case for Administration policy, you shouldn't hide who you are.
Obama's Shills?
Nah,.nobody.spotted.it.until.a.reporter.at.the.Plain.Dealer.googled."Ellie.Light".because.there's.a.journalist.by.that.name.she.knew..MSimon wrote:This is so obvious. Was it an attempt to discredit pro Obama LTEs? Or to discredit the discrediting of pro Obama LTEs?
It is a conspiracy conspiracy? Or something deeper?
Evidently.there.is.someone.who.has.a.room.full.of.people.on.PC's.constantly.astroturfing.support.for.Obama.(there.was.a.tv.bit.on.this.operation.a.while.back)..Ms.Light.evidently.was.a.bit.stupid.or.lazy.about.it..Probably.a.former.ACORN.employee...
Apparently.most.astroturfers.are.smart.enough.to.use.different.names,.
usually.one.uses.one's.organizations.donation.house.list.to.sort.out.names.
and.addresses.local.to.each.newspaper.targeted.
Some.newspapers.are.smart.enough.to.not.print.LTE's.in.their.real.papers.unless.verified.by.a.phone.call..Most.however.dont.filter.online.letters.
