...underhanded and surreptitious campaign waged by a lobbying firm representing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a right-wing association representing big business. The report detailed how Hunton & Williams, a lobbying firm hired by the Chamber, solicited “private security” companies to investigate the Chamber’s political opponents, including ThinkProgress, the labor coalition Change to Win, SEIU, US Chamber Watch, and StopTheChamber.com. Their tactics included planting false documents, creating fake personas, and targeting opponents’ families and children.
It would be wrong to speculate one of our frequent trolls is on the payroll, it would be wrong not to. You'd just think they'd take more pride in their work.

Trolling pays $250 per billable hour. Hear that, OnAn?
Now you know the source for all those bogus emails* we all get screaming about un-patriotic or treasonous democrats, how our liberties are being taken away, "Muslins!", "Pelosi!", "Reid!", and how "Soshilism!" is being jammed down the throats of Americans.
(* I get them all the time from my Reich-wing friends, and even people I do not know. I respond to every one of them, and not often in a nice way. I also remind them that I have yet to see one - ONE! - aimed at a Republican; but if there is such a beast, send it to me because I would love to see it. Never a peep back. Odd, eh?)
My mom gets those emails from a couple of her friends that she sends on to me, when they're particularly stupid and or nasty I send a response back to all email contacts with a lengthy attributed debunking... most times you get crickets back... sometimes, if you hit a nerve you'll get a response that proves your point...
on days when I'm feeling onery, if my mom's passed on one of those gems I'll respond..
i guess until it gets to no unions and we are all serfs, unions will have to rebuild the country again. or big bizness will take america down.
the rich have socialized their richness.
we must socialize basic human rights and decency for all the people, by the people, and of the people vox

Peanuts !
Even though I'm a centrist I make far more that that with anonymous payments of gym bags stuffed full of cash.
I think the payments might be the workings of the VRWC* that Hillary warned us about. ;

When someone insists on sending me these, I'll debunk the first few, then respond with, "You know, if someone lied to me as much as the writer of these emails is lying to you, I'd feel pretty gullible and foolish for continuing to believe them."
