people are "hired" by either party to stop in forums like this and spin shit or make a case for their candidate. not the usual suspects with many posts (we know where you all stand..ha ha), the ones with just a few. Just curious if anyone else thinks this is or may be done?
All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    I swear I used to think that about some of the Israel supporters that would pop up only when Israel was being discussed and argue for pages and pages outta no where...especially during the offensive Israel took on Lebanon a couple of years ago.

    For sure.....the campaigns instruct their volunteers exactly how to spread their word or bash others!

    The key word is "volunteers"....I don't think people get paid to post on boards.

    I doubt it, but a lot of useful idiots do so in the name of promoting zionism. That's a pretty well know situation.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    it just seems that at times some people suddenly appear, start a controversal topic, and then disappear. few hours or days later, same person is starting a thread making similiar points about their candiate or the opposition only to spark controversy.

    volunteers is probably more like it, but I wouldnt rule out that they are getting paid.

    About a year ago, some woman from Cleveland appeared, and started spewing cooments that bordered on racism. She also seemed to hide behind "religious text" as well. She disappeared quickly!

    100% agree....a past poster at that time was also posting at various other message boards only about Lebanon and no other issue....just seemed odd to me....plus I called them out about some PJ related issues in PM's and from their answers I can safely say that they had very little knowledge of PJ...leading me to wonder how they ended up making 100% of their posts on the AMT ONLY during the time of the Israel/Lebanon conflict on a PJ message board....then subsequantly disappeared.....

    I know! I try to balance out my paranoia but that was just too fishy.

    Someone posted me the links to these other boards and yep same user name and same rhetoric....then disappeared from those boards as well after that conflict resolved itself....it was very weird and honestly easy to see that something was off with them...not becase of their views...but that how the hell do you end of posting here and have very limited knowledge of anything PJ....then as you said in your previous post....they just disappeared.....

    look up "megaphone" ... type something like "megaphone zionist propaganda" in to google ...

    It is a group\organization with a networking computer program ... someone within the organization can tag a post\thread\article anything on the internet as being anti-semetic or anti-zionist and the "megaphone" program puts an APB out to all members with the desktop widget ... thus instructing them to swarm that site and flood it with Pro-Israel\Pro-Zionist messages!

    No joke.
    Check it out.

    If I opened it now would you not understand?
