"Project Birmingham was attempting to push on those issues. They talk about - in the document - trying to provoke disgust among evangelical Christians, for example, over those allegations of sexual misconduct." So democrats have learned from the social media campaigns to the republicans and trump. To use them, to inform voters of the Russian bots supporting Roy Moore, sexual predator. .I thought you were a trump and republican supporter? Yet you start a thread on the exact techniques that President Putin developed in his job at the FSB. Then used to elect trump, your boy. Then feign outrage when democrats point out Roy Moore's sexual misconducts. Using those same social media techniques! You and Rudy Giuliani, two peas in a pod.

rushmc 18 #4 January 20, 2019 Yup. You got it right. They wanted to spread disgust among those groups so that they wouldn’t vote for the Republican candidate. Nice to see you catching on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the problem with that is? Evangelicals are supposed to be disgusted by sexual impropriety. Roy Moore was very, very credibly accused of vile and disgusting sexual impropriety and no-one with a remotely functional moral compass should have voted for him. Never mind the Dem's going after him for it, his own party should have disavowed him. Now, the other thing that was contained within your story, that they tried to falsely imply he was being supported by Russian bots - that's wrong. However, as stated in your source "There's no evidence of a relationship with Senator Jones or, really, with any Democrats in Alabama that would be found." And to be honest, was anyone actually aware of these misleading Russian accusations during Roy Moore's campaign? All I remember is that he lost (as he should) because he's a violent pedophile. Now, would you like to condemn the misinformation from Republican groups during that campaign? Would you like to condemn the attempts by Project Veritas to undermine the legitimate and accurate reporting of Roy Moore's misdeeds by trying to plant fake stories that they could then expose, in order to damage the credibility of the real victims? Please, tell us how you feel about that tactic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,147 #6 January 21, 2019 So the Russians didn't interfere with Trump's election and definitely didn't influence it? But using the same tactics the Democrats influenced this election? Is that really what you are contending? This makes sense in your mind? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
