    Right wing trolls

    I agree that its fairly obvious that many if not all of these nutpicked comments are right wing trolls. They copy the language and tone of right wing rants against the democrats, progressives, liberals, etc. These posts are nothing at all like comments by people who read, listen to, and write in progressive media.

    Given the speed that Malkin, Hannity, etc find these comments before they are deleted, it would not be shocking to find out they have their own interns writing them. That would be so much more efficient than waiting for their followers to send them in and sorting through the emails.
