It causes them to be sad and disheartened. So, one key way is to mimic them once they post, write as their name and say how sorry you are that you were a troll and move towards loving Hillary. Its instant karma and gets them freaked out. So those 400 fake trolls will never hurt me! Try it on the next troll and you'll love yourself even more. Heck, use their name when you reply to their comment with a quote from Hillary or something positive from Hillary. It'll really surprise new readers and neutralise the trolls. They then become useless against the newbies and won't be moulded into depression... Defeating trolls:

It reminds me of the stark difference between committed Obama supporters and committed Clinton supporters. They support him despite all evidence that he is a corrupt dirty politician without a shred of experience or clue about how to fix the mess the country is in. We support Hillary because of her long experience, her very detailed plans, and because she doesn't look down on us or treat us like we beneath her. And our support has grown as we've watched her fight against all odds and stand up to the worst kind of misogyny and betrayal from the media and her own party. Quite frankly, I've never seen a male politician fight so hard, certainly not a male democrat (although Bill has come close). She has a big, big heart, and she definitely has mine!

They don't like or trust Obama. But because Obama has become the darling of the facebook/myspace crowd, I have no doubt he's being propelled by 16 year old bloggers over there... and the paid ones, too.

The more I study NLP and compare with his speeches and responses to people in public events, I'm convinced it's become cultish. I mean listen to that radio guy's comments... "rub the stardust out of our eyes.." "they don't want us to be idealistic" It's like a cadre of people that are living in a fairy tale and attack anyone that speaks of reality. It's frightening. And no.. no one will take him or Air America to task for saying those awful things on the air. It's too late for Obama or anyone to call on us to unite. I am convinced it’s a cult.

Rush is on for his entire show, though. Many years ago I used to listen to Alan Colmes (before Fox bought him out), but liberal radio simply doesn't exist here anymore. Closest thing to it is NPR -- which has got to be the most boring newscast on Earth. Between classical pieces and canned speeches, it's stuff to put someone to sleep.
