The Blogzkrieg Bots

splashAxelrove must’ve sensed a disturbance in the force because I believe the Blogzkrieg Bots are back at work in sites where the Obamessiah’s economic message has been questioned.  Most of the frontpagers and bloggers that I know were chased off various blogs when they harshed the Obama mellow or dared suggest that Hillary’s campaign was better, not racist, and worthy of support. Recently, a set of anonymous email exchanges were released at Liberal Rapture.  One writer of the exchange has self identifed themself (James Kunstler) and verified the authenticity of the exchange.  Those of us who have dealt with the spam filter and comments in moderation can give our take on the Blogzkrieg under taken by the Obama campaign which apparently still is in full force to stop any potential anti-obama Buzzkill.  Here’s the relevant exchange from a former Obama supporter that I’d like to reference.

I can also say how shocked I became at the really dishonest tactics he used, from race-baiting to caucus fraud to paying cyber stalkers to terrorize pro-Clinton writers and website owners.

The cyberstalking continues.  Yesterday, I blogged about CNBC’s Kramer.  I have to say that I’m a value investor, unlike Kramer, and do not follow any of his individual stock picks.  I do think the man has an excellent grasp of and background in market psychology.  I started listening to him more when he came out on Ellen as a  Hillary supporter.  He made it clear he thought she’d be best for the economy. So yesterday, I wrote on his rant on cnbc.  This wasn’t his first rant but one the most eye-popping to date.  All last week he was talking about Obama-proofing your investment portfolio.

The first thing I did was go collect the rant from Utube here.  You can even find my reply to the first poster. (I’ve got 7 thumbs up so far) although the original posts are no longer there from thomaswalkerpolk.

I take it your one of Axelrove’s paid blogger project to take down any one that says realistic things about Obama?

The first post he made attacked Cramer personally and that what’s going on with Wall Street is just pay back to bad bankers.  The second post said something to the effect that everything Obama has done to date is either good or too early to tell.  Any thing bad to date is basically part of the  ‘Obama inherited it’ meme. Here’s a second poster from 8 hours ago with the same pattern.

by the way:
the life savings of millions of Americans was destroyed before Obama inherited the mess. Just for the record.
Obama has been in office a month and a half…..are you kidding me?

Cramer and lots of traders ( basically people who gamble other people’s money, or just bet on short term gains) should stop complaining about ideology or politics….
Money is green, and has no ideology or politics.
Cramer is too old and confused about things.Stocks trading 101 for you all:
BUY LOW…SELL HIGH.So if you got some cash…you better be buying all the good long term stocks and real estate you can NOW. or you will regret it. TRUST ME ….you will regret it.
Here’s a poster from yesterday’s thread at the Confluence.  Same pattern. Same talking points.

The President needs to keep right on doing what he’s doing. The Wall Street power brokers are the very peole that got us into this mess in the first place. They are also the people who have been the most vocal in their opposition to any attempts to rebalance wealth inequitity that has ballooned over since Reagan. Any thing that makes the rich accountable to the people of this nation is considered a disaster. They said nothing about the reckless spending during Bush’s term. Yet the CNBC clows get all types of riteous anger about the government actually comming to the rescue of the American people and demanding that the super rich do their patriotic duty to pay for it. Apparently things were just peachy as the gulf between rich and poor widened. The moment someone actually starts trying to fix that.

There has been more than ENOUGH bending over packwards to please Wall Street over the past decade. Its well beyond time for the government to start working for the average American. Some one needs to remind these folks that the average income in this country is just $45,000. Anyone making six figures is doing better than most of the country and need to stop complainging.

Sorry you bought a house and invested your retirement in the market at the wrong time. That’s capitalism.

Right now I’m buying GE for around 6, BP for 28 and Lowe’s for 13! I’m buying up real estate cheap too. Anyone that thinks the President can control the market is insane – see Kramer above. If you’re getting your advice from that tool just send me your money!

Cramer is no friend of mine, and I doubt he has the interests of the likes of you at heart either. No kidding, stocks are dropping hard these days–after 8 year of you-know-who in the Oval Office, that’s no surprise. Yes, house prices are dropping fast too–it’s a bubble that was going to burst sooner or later, and the sooner the better for all of us. I wonder where Cramer was when that bubble was still inflating–no, wait, I know the answer to that question–he was busy inflating it himself…

I would be more worried if stocks were going up after Obama’s speeches. It would mean the shareholders of the zombie banks were certain the administration was not going to nationalize them, but instead keep forking over taxpayer dollars to them, no questions asked.

Now, I’m a professional numbers kruncher paid to spot patterns.  I don’t think you need a phd. to catch or spot this one.  First, personally eviscerate Cramer.  Second, say that it’s not hurting my supporters, only the bad guys.  Third, bad things are inherited from Bush and good things are coming from Obama.  These are the same talking points we heard from DNC talking heads as well as the meme being pushed on the so-called progressive blogs.  Even POTUS himself spouted the meme when he said it’s bad now because of what we inherited, but hey, there’s just tons of buying opportunities now.  It’ll go up shortly.  Or, hey, the stock market is just a tracking poll, not the most forward looking leading indicator known to economists.  All nice little talking points up for display on the MSM news yesterday and on every blog questioning the Obamessiah.  That and look the other way, the man behind the curtain in the Republican Party is mean ol’ Rush Limbaugh! Don’t look for that AxelRove behind the curtain at the Whitehouse!

Can we just say there’s a very active propaganda arm of POTUS?  Big Brother any one?

UPDATE:  Now that I’m looking at this post again, notice how the President and TWO of them are saying buy real estate and stocks cheap now!!!!  That’s beginning to get me in the mood for TINFOIL TUESDAY!

    Except that the propaganda is only working on the most kool-ade addled or low- information types who just aren’t keeping up with what’s happening everyday.

    BHO knows that the number of people that fall into the above description is getting smaller and smaller. So he has fully mobilized his propaganda brigade. But even the most besotted kool-ade drunk can see that since BHO has taken office, things have gotten worse. We’ve now reached the point where the real question is: who are you going to believe, me? or your lying eyes?

    There was also Santelli who is less famous, but even more populist about the spending packages. Robert “Gibberish” Gibbs spent a day telling him to read the mortgage plan. That was ironic in the extreme, since no one in Congress read the Stimulus package before voting on it.

    When people start to turn away from Obama in droves and publically, the market may start to recover. Right now, he’s got the attitude and approval rating of a guy who Americans support.

      I think one of the reasons these two guys are panicking the obama team is they have a populist appeal and aren’t really that associated with the CEO types on Wall Street.

  3. Thanks for the alert!

    I was wondering about why the kiddos were visiting my blog to insult me … again.

    Sigh.
