Throughout the campaign, I noticed that if I read an anti-Chairman Obama article or blog, there an army of pro-Obama comments to debunk the article, demoralize the author and those on the opposing side reading these stories. The comments felt scripted like the entire Obama campaign. Shortly before the McCain, a Clinton supporter who transferred to the Obama campaign after the primaries blogged how the Obama electronic army seeks out blogs and stories to do just this.
Obama has called out to this army again, and we will see if their enthusiasm will last throughout the four years when the truth comes out and we discover who the real Obama is. In an e-mail, written to the army shortly before his Grant Park victory speech, Obama let them know to be ready. "We have a lot to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next."
Yesterday, I heard the pundits claim these electronic warriors are the new Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, and Mike Church. Granted 3.1 million electronic warriors is an impressive number, but does not even come close to Limbaugh's dedicated daily audience. Most of these 3.1 million are kids that probably can't wait to get back to the daily drama of Facebook and MySpace. They will never receive the rewards Limbaugh earns for his service, so this army will weaken as fast as our military weakens with Obama's military cuts that are coming.
"I'm going to be sitting at the phone, asking, 'What do you want me to do next? I'm ready,' " said volunteer Courtney Hood, 37. Will Hood's three children suffer loss of their time with their mom because she is threatening some blog or writing Representatives over and over using different aliases? I sense holes in the armor.
Whatever Obama's plans, whether it be intimidating members of Congress using ACORN and Saul Alinsky tactics to send thousands of e-mails to opposing members of Congress or demoralizing pro-right bloggers and columnist, we need to stay strong, present the facts, write members of Congress, and fight Obama's electronic warriors. This is the way to begin to defeat Obama on a grassroots level. We can help rebuild the conservative movement in America, and we need to rebuild it using sound facts and positive rhetoric. Name calling is not acceptable.
I invite Obama's electronic warriors to my blog. They didn't demoralize me, they upset me and brought out my passion for the philosophies that I hold dear. I accepted their challenge and enjoyed proving with facts that they were lying bullys. Remember, Obama is an image, nothing more, nothing less--a very dangerous image.
As I close, consider the conversations in the media just before and after the election. It proves Obama is nothing more than an image.
From the Charlie Rose show with Tom Brokaw:
ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
BROKAW: No, I don't either.
ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.
BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
BROKAW: You know that's an interesting question.
ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches, two of them.
BROKAW: I don't know what books he's read. (Clay-We know he has read Sal Alinsky's Rules for Radical, surely Brokaw know this.)
ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.
From the Charlie Rose Show with Evan Thomas and Jon Meacham, both of Newsweek Magazine:
MEACHAM: He's very elusive, Obama, which is fascinating for a man who's written two memoirs. At Grant Park he walks out with the family, and then they go away.
ROSE: Mmm. Mmm-hmm.
MEACHAM: Biden's back, you know, locked in the bar or something.
ROSE: (haughty chuckle)
MEACHAM: You know, they don't let him out. And have you ever seen a victory speech where there was no one else on stage?
ROSE: Mmm.
MEACHAM: No adoring wife, no cute kid. He is the messenger.
THOMAS: There is a slightly creepy cult of personality about all this. I mean, he's such an admirable --
ROSE: Slightly. Creepy. Cult of personality.
THOMAS: Yes.
ROSE: What's slightly creepy about it?
THOMAS: It -- it -- it just makes me a little uneasy that he's so singular. He's clearly managing his own spectacle. He's a deeply manipulative guy.
ROSE: Watching him last night in that speech, he finishes --
MEACHAM: Yeah.
ROSE: -- and he sort of -- it's almost like he then ascends to look at the circumstance.
MEACHAM: He watches us watching him.
THOMAS: Watching him!
ROSE: Exactly!
THOMAS: He does --
MEACHAM: It's amazing.
ROSE: It is amazing.
THOMAS: He writes about this metaphor being a screen upon which Americans will project. He said they want of Barack Obama; I'm not sure I am Barack Obama.
ROSE: Mmm!
THOMAS: He had -- he has the self-awareness to know that this creature he's designed isn't necessarily a real person, and he's self-aware enough --
ROSE: Ahhhhhh!
End of transcript.
It's time to go to war in the name of conservatism. It's time to beat this movement and the 3.1 million volunteers. Remember, conservatives are more passionate that liberals, and that is the key to win this war.

You nailed it.
It has been known for a decade that political parties (candidates) are recruiting activists to campaign for them on the Internet. They are all across the big media forums - and yes they do log-in as several different names. Their agenda is to attack the dissenting or disagreeing public.
The only problem is that a good majority of the public is ignorant to this fact - they think that a thread of 15 comments made by different users is the real thing - when in actuality, it may only be one or two persons. Don't underestimate them - some are so skilled that they can make it appear as if a big hot debate is going on - and it's only one person - they can have an entire conversation by themselves.
But the kicker is not that activists (some of them paid btw) are doing this - I have my suspicions that big MSM and political aids are in on it too.
It's hard for the casual reader to recognize what's going on, those who may skip into a forum only every now and then - but if one reads every day, they pick up on it. Because sooner or later they make mistakes - like forgetting to log-off before posting as 'another person'. I and several other people have caught these activists at work many times...
Funny in a way...
And the average Joe might think I'm nuts...
But think about it...I can go into a forum and register in any name that I want, even four or five different ones. Notice that forums that tolerate this, or participate, will not post the commenters IP number along with their comment posts. Because IP numbers can be revealing and they can be traced. Betcha a dime to a donut that were it mandatory that IP numbers be published, on many of these forums, out of 15 comments, 10 would have the same IP.
But the only way to combat this action is by spreading the word - educating the public. I too will address this issue on my blog very shortly. I'm waiting on the electoral vote.
