Are You Experienced?

Hey Folks how is it going?

Well it has been about a month since we started handing out Blogging and Bogosphere tips for all you new McCainiac bloggers. And I think some of you are starting to get the hang of it. Since we have started, we have learned all about trickersters known as Trolls. And we have learned that one should never feed a Troll.

We’ve also learned about the treacherous Concern Troll who may pose as your friend but definately is not. While, on the other hand, the Moderator may well be your friend. We’ve learned how to Handle a Sockpuppet and how to use Sockpuppets to create an Army of One that can overwhelm your opponents.

We have also Learned that John McCain has done most of your work for you. And that you can go to JohnMcCain.com and Block, Copy, and Paste all sorts of persuasive arguments written by John McCain right into your blog.

We learned the language of today’s urban youth who digg McCain and the McCain Urban Street Sign that you can use to boost your street cred. You now should know that liberals don’t refer to other liberals as “liberals,” they refer to them as “Progressives.” And we gotten alot of experience along the way.

And Now I am Proud to say that with these lessons you could be well on the way to becoming Professional McCain Bloggers. Congratulations Team McCain!

That’s all I have for tonight, just a recap of some of our helpful hints. Keep on blogging and spreading the Good News about John McCain.

Take the Bait, Get the Switch…Ouch!

Hey all.

I trust the blogging is going well. Keep it up, John McCain is counting on you!  Well time for a new tip.

Have you come across a fellow poster who seems at first to be a reachable voter while posting about John McCain and his many virtues only to have this poster turn on you abruptly. Say this poster has some positive things to say about John McCain but wants you to admit a mistake that John McCain may have made before committing further toward voting for John McCain. Say this poster said something like this:

I like both John McCain and Barack Obama. But what I value most is someone who can admit a mistake and learn from it. Knowing everything we know now about how the Iraq war would go and how much it would cost don’t you think there was a better way to make America safer other than invading and occupying Iraq indefinitely?

Well what to do? Of course Iraq has not gone how the experts, such as John McCain, thought it would go.  Should you say yes, it was worth it and that you’d make the same mistakes over if you had it to do again? Or should you say maybe we should have made some different decisions to make America Safe? You decide to tell this reachable voter what you think he wants to hear and say:

Well if we had to do it over again we should have made some decisions differently. It is unfortunate but we are on the right course now and John McCain know the right strategy now.

There, a perfectly reasonable middle of the road statement.  It should be just what the reachable voter is looking looking for. But then all of a sudden this reachable voter isn’t so reachable aanymore and as a matter of fact he is downright hostile. Perhaps he says something like this in response:

So you admit John McCain made a mistake when it came to invading Iraq. How can we trust him now?  Why should I trust him about anything including and especially national security. I don’t trust John McCain and you should not either because he was wrong about Iraq.

Well my friend you just got drawn into a Bait and “Switch.” And by Switch,  I mean “to switch” as in the verb.  So be careful out there.  Some bloggers may not be who they seem to be.  They may be waiting for you to take the bait so they can give you the Switch. Ouch!

Anyway, that is this week’s tip. Have fun, Stay safe.

How to ‘Handle’ the Sockpuppet

Hey all.

Back for another tip? Any of you been hitting the blogs posting the good news about John McCain and experienced this.  You’ve returned to a site where you frequently post and find someone else using your screen name?  But that’s not the worst of it, the person using your screen name is pretending to be you and now supports Obama ! ? !  Say your screen name is McCainiac_44 and you see:

Well everyone who posts on this board is familar with Me McCainiac_44 and my postings and knows me to be a strong supporter of John McCain. Well from reading the posts on this Board I now have come to believe that Experience is important but Change is more important. And this is why I now believe Obama should be President and urge all other McCain supporters to reconsider and support Obama. 

Well, you have just been sockpuppeted, my friend. And the person pretending to be you was running a sockpuppet. By running a sockpuppet, the dishonest poster can mislead readers of the blog into thinking a long time McCain supporter had changed his mind and is now supporting Obama. What to do?  You could argue with the sockpuppet as to the identity of the real McCainiac_44, but this rarely achieves the desired effect.

Well here is a tip. Change your ‘Handle,’ meaning adopt a new screen name. It does not matter which name you choose it could be “J-Mac Fan” or anything else. And then respond to the Sockpuppet like this:

I know McCainiac_44 and he is at the yatch club tonight and not near a computer.  I am sure when he gets back to his computer tomorrow, he will be back posting cool stuff about John McCain.  This person proclaiming support for Obama is running a Sockpuppet! Don’t fall for this trick.

By changing your ‘Handle‘ you can Handle the Sockpuppet!

There are other ways to beat a Sockpuppet, such as Turning the Sockpuppet Insideout, but this will get you started for now. Well that’s the tip of the night. Good luck blogging!
