What does this list mean?There is a pattern of disruption happening in the Townhall discussion groups here that suggests some of the posters are "professional" bloggers, possibly paid by Moveon.org and/or the Soros money. Their purpose is not to hold a meaningful discussion, even from a left wing point of view, but to deflect the issues, so they cannot be intelligently debated. All they want to do is to eat up space and divert everyone's attention away from the real issues.
These suspects carefully avoid facts, use inflammatory language and insults and try to engage thoughtful people in banal arguments, carefully removing the focus from the real issues.
My suggestion to stop this is simple. Ignore them. Do NOT reply to anything they say. Don't even read their posts, all they are going to try to do is take your attention away from a meaningful discussion that they cannot win.
Above are some of the names I believe are engaged in this activity. Please feel free to send me your list. If you are on the list, and think this is unfair, post a comment.
REMEMBER - These are
not liberals who disagree, or engage in active discussion of the issues. This list is those who exhibit a pattern of behavior that consistently disrupts the conversation with all sorts of invective, innuendo, inane attacks - - all the "i" words. Townhall is not MoveOn or DailyKos, where dissent is not allowed. We just want good, honest dialog, not the Horse Hockey that diverts the attention.
