wineboy asked in Politics & GovernmentPolitics · 1 decade ago

Do you all know how many questions are posted by political operatives?

Doesn't it seem just a teeny bit CONVENIENT to anyone that questions from right wing leaning folks all reflect the very latest Republican talking points? And all at exactly the same time?

Why does it seem that everyone suddenly asks at once why Al Gore's house uses 50 times more power than the "average" house in Tennessee the DAY AFTER he wins the Academy Award for "An Incovenient Truth" (it doesn't) or why Barak Obama is Muslim (he's Baptist) or why Hillary Clinton faked a southern accent (she was reading from a poem).

Doesn't it seem awfully convenient that so many people "think" the same thing at once?

Isn't anyone aware that Right Wing operatives are posting these so-called "questions"?

Update:

Another question - a few people have suggested that I'm a delusional conspiracy nut because the topcis in the news are what prompt questions by right-wing leaning people. Okay, so how come no one with a right-wing perspective has ASKED A SINGLE QUESTION ABOUT THE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS FOR VETS AT WALTER REED HOSPITAL OR THE FACT THAT BRITISH TROOPS ARE LEAVING IRAQ OR THE FACT THAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN FORCED TO NEGOTIATE WITH NORTH KOREA AFTER REFUSING TO TALK FOR YEARS?

The question, once again, is why do right wing people polny ever EVER ask questions designed to smear anyone who opposes Bush? Anyone?

    Okay look, get your facts straight, some people have commented like that, but all of us? not even close, I have never said Al Gore won the Academy Award(he just criticized others for wasting energy...), never said Barak Hussein Obama was Muslim (name does not help though), and never said Hilary faked a southern accent (that would be her hubby). Get your facts right. And yet, conspiracy nut jobs tend to come from the Left-wingers...

    I dunno...

    As a high scorer under the political section, I get accused of this also; but, I tell you here and now, I am just me alone... not working for any group, etc...

    So yes, I know some ppl sound that way sometimes but I can only speak for myself. Some ppl just feel motivated to come here and give their opinions.

    It happens on both sides buddy!

    Are you aware that the Left Wing operatives are posting questions too?

    Come on...anyone who really thinks that one side or the other is soooo bad or evil or up to no good and the other side is completely innocent is vary naive.

    People are people. Right Wing or Left Wing. We all do the same stuff.

    So in answer to your question, yes I do believe it. On both sides.

    Thanks for the enlightenment! First, many of us are not talking about Hillary's fake southern accent, we're talking about Obama's! He no more talks that way, than I do, except when it's convenient. Second, I've heard that Al Gore sucking up electricity thing lots of other places besides here! Do you honestly think that we're getting paid to support Republicans? I could be so lucky! We are not as stupid and in the dark as you would like to believe, wine. We've got websites we go to as well. How 'bout that?!

    Well sure that could be the case after all they do have bloggers,

    Does anyone remember Watergate Nixon well thats the republicans

    Edit

    The reason for you 2 nd question is they don't want to talk about all there failures

    How about this: As the news happens, it comes into the general populations relm of knowledge. Therefore, it is a popular subject.

    For instance, 2 weeks before Anna Nicole died, no one was talking about her funeral, or where her money would go. 2 weeks before Hillary went out of her way to sound like a hick, no one was talking about it.

    That is just common sense.

    We don't really know who any of the people who post the questions are. Just think who may really be answering your questions. There is a clue in my name as to who I really am.

    Much as I would like to lay this off on political operatives, I suspect they all listened to Rush Limp-baugh or some other pundit who brought up the talking point.

    After all, that's why they're called ditto-heads.

    Politics is dirty prompting the party not in the limelight to criticize their rivals who shine in achievements and success.

    Considering the easy way they are tripped up - I say they are simply dittoheads or savage idiots parroting their heroes.
