Ever wonder why the specific dehumanization smears "PaulBots" and "BernieBots" are used by the same group on reddit (/r/conspiratard / /r/The_Donald)? - "Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are spearheading an effort to drag the veil of secrecy off of the Federal Reserve."

What else do Bernie Sanders, left wing socialist, and Ron Paul, far-right champion of small government libertarianism have in common besides their distrust of banksters?

  1. Both are highly critical of the unconstitutional spying
    (see /r/Treason)

  2. Both are highly critical of torture
    (see /r/TortureReport)

  3. Both are highly critical of Israel and want to divest
    (see /r/RachelCorrie)

  4. Both have strongly condemned the Bush administration as criminal
    (see /r/DickCheney)

Since this all started, I have said Bernie will be the Democrats Ron Paul. It appears that others feel the same way. They just want to make sure that's how it goes. Marginalize any message and messenger outside the two party system.

I would prefer, as I did with Paul, to let the voters decide.

They have, and they have rejected your guy.

Which one is my guy?

To be fair, "obamabots" has been around for a while. Its all part of this ridiculous polarization IMO, aka "you have a different opinion than me therefore you are stupid"

1  TheGhostOfDusty 2016-04-15

True. The underlying implication is that the supporters are computer programs and/or "hackers". It's inane fearmongering.

Notice how there's never been any "xxxxbots" insult flying for supporters of authoritarians on the far right.

there have

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Romneybot

not nearly as much, though, which is probably because those supporters are middle aged and dont spend any time on reddit

The thing Paulbots and Berniebots had in common was that they constituted a huge demographic of redditors.

They aren't "bots" though. Saying that they are is dehumanization, incredibly scummy and cowardly propaganda.
That's literally what the Nazis are hated for doing.

She just has no grassroots support among 'netizens.' This post isn't about actual psyop botnets, it's about smear mongers claiming botnets for anti-authoritarian, anti-war politicians.

Your theory is disproved via the existence of Marco Rubiobot.

/the donald and /conspiritard? I think you'll find there are plenty of r/conspiracy minded people there. Conspiritards will vote for hillary

2  TheGhostOfDusty 2016-04-15

You need to be aware of who you're being led by. The top mods there will likely vote for Hillary when all is said and done, because she is a frothing war-pig.

spearheading an effort to drag the veil of secrecy off of the Federal Reserve.

Found some info.

It is so important to audit The Federal Reserve, and yet Ted Cruz missed the vote on the bill that would allow this to be done. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 22, 2016

*Donald Trump Is Right – Here Are 100 Reasons Why We Need To Audit The Federal Reserve*

What would a President Trump mean for the Fed?

Ted Cruz supports as well as former candidate Rand Paul.

1  TheGhostOfDusty 2016-04-15

Yeah it's a bit murky. I still doubt that they're actual Trump supporters. Probably working to pave the way for a Clinton landslide.

The US public (much less the actual deep-state creeps who choose the president) are not going to vote for a blow-hard game-show host and beauty pageant mogul over a famous and seasoned politician, and they know that.

Other reasons they hate and defame both Paul and Sanders (and their supporters):

  1. Both are highly critical of the NSA spying
    (see /r/Treason)

  2. Both are highly critical of torture
    (see /r/TortureReport)

  3. Both are highly critical of Israel and want to divest
    (see /r/RachelCorrie)

  4. Both have strongly condemned the Bush administration as
    criminal
    (see /r/DickCheney)

I'm skeptical. Not because I wouldn't presume the same neocons would be pseudo-supporting trump, but because the guys know that you're monitoring their accounts. If this was sincere, I'd think they;d be using alts.

Why do you think they routinely defame me as a "holocaust denier" and "white supremacist"?

The subjects of this watchdog group, the Nolibs Crew, in trying to defend against their indefensible behavior, have chosen the coward's tactic of smearing and discrediting us as Nazis (literally). They do this in hopes that their smears will create a stigma and cause fewer people will actually read any of the documented evidence collected here. Sadly, this specific Rovian smear campaign tactic is somewhat effective because it works on a lot of people, causing them to have a certain kind of fear-based, knee-jerk reaction.

I'm guessing it's because you're a Holocaust-denying white supremacist?

2  alcalde 2016-04-15

I'm skeptical.

I've never seen those words uttered in this sub before.

now what brigade irc channel did you crawl out of onto this month old post?

It appears I've struck a nerve, again. xD
