It was only yesterday that RW pondered whether Obama bloggers foreshadowed an Obama administration, which drew a lot of interest and some insightful comments.
While checking "friendly" blog sites this morning, RW discovered that there is an apparent invasion of Obamabots employing a variety of infiltration tactics.
Like Uppity Woman, Anglachel's Journal is using comment moderation. In a gentle and tactful way, admin there wrote:
I am getting a lot of comments - thank you for taking the time. About 1/4 of them are marked not for publication and I will honor those requests. [...] If you send multiple comments in on a single thread, I will probably publish only one of them unless there is something noteworthy. Please remember that the comments reflect the views of the commenter. I will publish things I disagree with if I think the argument is well made or presents a view that should be considered.
While Anglachel's Journal may be suffering from a mild influx of comments, The Confluence (a.k.a. Riverdaughter) has discovered a more aggressive attack—by imposters. Ronkseattle writes:
Obots are out in force lately. Not just common trolls, but sock puppets and “false flag” posters who — in violation of every reputable Internet Service Provider’s Terms of Service agreements — impersonate established members of this community in order to disrupt and deceive.
Similar attacks are evident at other sites, and in some cases user names that have no posting history at The Confluence have been adopted from other pro-Hillary sites.
If you observe a comment from any poster, familiar or otherwise, who claims to have seen the light and decided to follow Hillary’s lead to support Obama, or pointing to McCain positions as reasons they must support Obama, please do not respond except if they’re using your username. For the time being, all such posts must be presumed counterfeit.
In time, with the assistance of their respective ISP’s, and possibly with the active cooperation of the Obama campaign itself, we’ll disable these miscreants. For now, do not talk back to them, and don’t believe any conversions on the road to Damascus.
If this is the Unity Pony’s best trick, it’s pretty lame, isn’t it?
If you come across any similar activities, please let RW know. We'll do our best to
Update: Sorry, missed this: Uppity Woman reported yesterday that she was impersonated at the Democrats For McCain site:
... so for spite here is the link. I have also added the link to my links list. I hadn't thought of doing that but since Obama has the most vile and malicious of followers, then all the more John McCain is looking really good to me. Here's the link. Visit them! Tell them Uppity sent you!
Note to other bloggers, Uppity also passed on a link to a free web tool to block IP addresses (http://toolator.com/ban/index.php). Thanks, Uppity!
Make sure to read the comments section.
Update #2: John at Liberal Rapture shares some more about the identity theft by the Obamabots, writing that it's just "Another exercise in proving their weakness."
What we all may be missing here is the bigger picture. This is a Saul Alinsky community organizer tactic—agitation—which it appears Sen. Obama included in Obamabot 101 training.
Problem? It's transparent. Only the dumbest among us would fall for it, and they'd be easily fooled by anything. They fell for Sen. Obama, didn't they?
Update #3: Riverdaughter at The Confluence reports on the "Obama Pod People".
Update #4: Joseph Cannon at Cannonfire has this to say about "Obot online tactics."
The Confluence notes that poseurs have been hopping onto that site, and other sites, pretending to be regulars who have had the demons of Clintonism driven from their hearts by the Radiance That Is He. Of course, IP addresses give the game away. Also see the important warning here about a specific "Unity" message being spread under various assumed identities.
MyDD has become an Inquisition dedicated to rooting out the anti-O heresy. Other sites have had to suspend comments altogether.
You know what's been happening to me, even though I delete the wackjob comments on sight. I thought that the 9/11 nuts were bizarre, but they were puttytats compared to the Obots.
Why do they behave in this fashion? They aren't going to convert anyone. In fact, a display of zealotry can only toughen our resistance.

Problem is, they're ALL so stupid.
Alinsky in the hands of a moron really isn't too much of a threat.
In fact, I would say Alinsky wasn't really studied enough to be labeled effective, perhaps the initial agitation has no long term effect, or simply mimics the natural course of a group dynamic, anyway.
Not too bright, those boys.
Before anyone gets too concerned, really LOOK at those people...
Not too much brain power there...
Believers of the Obama manure train aren't as stupid as they are lazy. When I try and explain what is wrong with Obama I get in return dumb founded expressions and then "What channel can I see those reports on?" This is the lazy kind of denial my mother told me about during Hitler's early conversion of Germany. And hear ye nay sayers: I don't feel the comparison is exaggerated in the least, as far as the early Hitler movement is concerned.
People believe what they want to believe, for whatever reason, they always want the quick fix, they never THINK about the consequences of their decisions, past their dinner time, apparently.
All the information is out on the net, they've choosen to ignore it.
Why?
And can't they see the train wreck to come, based on Obama's past actions, and failures?
Hey RW! I was VERY popular yesterday. They used my name and link at Confluence, Taylor Marsh, Pagan, and a couple of other places too! I feel particularly honored that I mean enough to them to want to use my name so often. The worst part of it was their problem with sentence structure and literacy.
Riverdaughter is very cool She left the messages up and flagged them at the bottom in Big Bold so God and everybody could see that scum balls made the posts.
