World Net Daily: The Left Is Paying Trolls To Leave Comments On Our Posts

Head birther and raging crackpot Jerome Corsi, who says that President Obama is a Kenyan, Marxist, communist, Muslim bathhouse patron who is secretly gay-married in Pakistan, is now claiming that an unnamed leftist organization is paying trolls to leave comments on World Net Daily. Yesterday Corsi posted a list of clues on how to identify these mysterious “professional trolls.

The person’s posts are usually short and snarky, with reasonably correct spelling, grammar and punctuation, suggesting both intelligence and education. The posts are on the edge of acceptability, with little or no profanity or vulgar language that would get the post flagged immediately. The person has a high ratio of posts to the number of days on the site, suggesting he’s posting comments nearly full time and is getting paid to troll. The person posts politely on progressive websites but nastily on conservative websites, using the same username and IP address. The person’s posts are consistently belittling, rather than intelligent objections and points. The person’s posts address a broad spectrum of topics rather than focusing on one or two subjects of particular interest. The consistency is in the support of leftist policies and positions taken by the Obama administration.

Your check is in the mail, darlings.
